Actor Dylan Walsh, known for his role in “Heated Rivalry,” hinted at the possibility of filming twelve new episodes for the popular hockey romance series. The 62-year-old American actor disclosed this information in a video on the Cameo platform, which was later shared by TikTok user Savannah Leigh. Walsh, who portrays the father of hockey player Shane Hollander (played by Canadian actor Hudson Williams), expressed his enjoyment of working on the show and hinted at the upcoming production schedule.
However, Walsh’s revelation caused a stir, prompting him to issue an apology and temporarily suspend his Cameo account. In his statement to CBC News, Walsh acknowledged his mistake in speculating about the show’s production details without official confirmation. Despite the controversy, he expressed gratitude for the fan support and his involvement in “Heated Rivalry.”
While a response from the show’s representatives is pending, Walsh’s comments have fueled speculation among fans about potential new seasons being in the works. The first season of “Heated Rivalry” comprised six episodes, and creator Jacob Tierney had previously indicated a preference for concise seasons in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. The series, based on the Game Changers books by Canadian author Rachel Reid, received critical acclaim and multiple awards, leading to the swift renewal for a second season.
Filming for the upcoming season is underway in Toronto and Montreal, as reported by industry sources. Additionally, Crave Canada recently announced five new cast members for the show’s second season, generating excitement among fans and the entertainment community. The ongoing success of “Heated Rivalry” continues to captivate audiences, with anticipation building for the upcoming developments in the beloved series.
