All Episodes Of Heated Rivalry Arrive On Sky And NOW On 10 January
All episodes of Heated Rivalry, the romantic drama adapted from Rachel Reid’s acclaimed Game Changers book series, will arrive on Sky and streaming service NOW on 10 January in the UK and Ireland.
The series charts the intense relationship between rival hockey stars Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), two leading names in Major League Hockey bound by ambition, competition and a powerful attraction. What begins as a secret fling between two fresh-faced rookies grows into a years-long journey of love, denial and self-discovery.
Over the span of eight years, the pair pursue success on the ice while grappling with their feelings away from it. Caught between the sport that defines them and a bond they cannot ignore, Shane and Ilya must decide whether their fiercely competitive world can make room for something as fragile—and as potent—as true love.
The cast also includes François Arnaud, Robbie G.K., Christina Chang, Dylan Walsh, Sophie Nélisse and Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova.
Produced by Accent Aigu Entertainment in association with Bell Media’s Crave, Heated Rivalry is distributed internationally by Sphere Abacus. The series was originally created for Canadian streaming service Crave by award-winning Canadian writer-director-producer Jacob Tierney (Letterkenny, Shoresy). It was acquired for Sky by Lucy Criddle, Director of Acquisitions and Strategic Projects, and Alexander Wright, Acquisitions Manager.
All episodes of Heated Rivalry will be available on Sky and streaming service NOW from 10 January.
