Heated Rivalry 's second season isn't here yet, but it looks like fans might get even more of the hockey romance series than epected, as reports surface that the production of the third season is already underway.


According to Deadline, production on the second and third seasons is taking place back-to-back, with both consisting of six episodes. Filming is expected to finish in late November or early December. Neither Crave nor the production has publicly confirmed Season 3. A representative for the streaming service told Deadline that it had no additional projects to announce.

The second season was confirmed in December 2025, following the success of the show's first instalment. Based on Rachel Reid's novels, Heated Rivalry follows professional hockey players Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), whose relationship develops behind the scenes of their rivalry on the ice. The six-episode follow-up is scheduled to arrive in spring 2027.

There is also reportedly a feature film in the works, although it would focus on a different couple. The holiday-themed project would follow Scott Hunter (François Arnaud) and Kip Grady (Robbie G.K.), whose relationship was introduced in the first season. Production is expected to begin in December, with a theatrical release targeted for December 2027.

The film is reportedly inspired by Rachel Reid's short story Merry Christmas, Scott and Kip!. Williams and Storrie are not expected to appear.

‘How Are You Supposed to Have Sex with a Wicker Dick? I Wanted to See’

When indie film distributor Black Bear released the first trailer for Wicker, it hit social media timelines with a bang. Based on the short story The Wicker Husband by Ursula Wills-Jones, the film follows a small village fisherwoman (Olivia Colman) who convinces a local basket weaver (Peter Dinklage) to build her a husband out of wicker (Alexander Skarsgård). Fans, naturally, went a bit feral over the scenes of Colman and a basket-ified Skarsgård consummating their marriage so rapturously they break the bed. Eventually, a common joke emerged: “Will this be available in 4DX?”
