Fans of the hit Canadian sports romance series Heated Rivalry have more reasons to celebrate, as reports suggest the franchise is expanding with two additional seasons and a standalone holiday movie.
According to a report by Deadline, the production team is moving ahead with Seasons 2 and 3, which are expected to film back-to-back. A separate feature film is also reportedly in development, giving fans more stories from the popular hockey romance universe.
Two New Seasons Set to Film Back-to-Back
The second season is already in production, while the third season is also reportedly moving forward. Both seasons are expected to wrap filming around late November or early December 2026.
The series follows the complicated relationship between professional hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, played by Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.
Their on-screen chemistry helped turn the first season into a major success, attracting international attention and building a dedicated fan following.
Holiday Movie Brings Scott and Kip Into the Spotlight
The biggest surprise is a standalone movie reportedly planned for a December 2027 theatrical release.
Unlike the main series, the film will reportedly focus on Scott Hunter, played by François Arnaud, and Kip Grady, portrayed by Robbie G.K.
The story is expected to feature a Christmas or holiday theme, with additional characters from the series potentially making appearances.
However, Williams’ Shane and Storrie’s Ilya are reportedly not part of the movie’s central storyline.
Official Confirmation Still Awaited
The reported expansion has generated excitement among viewers, with fans celebrating the possibility of three upcoming projects.
However, the holiday film and third season details have not received official confirmation from the show’s producers or streaming platforms.
Heated Rivalry was created by Jacob Tierney and is based on Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novels. Its growing popularity has made the franchise one of the most talked-about romance dramas among television audiences.
