Bell Media’s Crave is set to stream Heated Rivalry, a steamy six-part series about a same-sex hockey romance created by one of the key figures behind previous hits Shoresy and Letterkenny.
Jacob Tierney, a filmmaker who was Jared Keeso’s right-hand man through season two of Shoresy, is writing and directing the show. Adapted from Canadian author Rachel Reid’s 2019 page-turner of the same name, it tells the story of major-league hockey stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, who meet as teenagers and end up playing on rival teams.
The two are, per the show’s logline, “torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore.”
