Heated Rivalry is “pure queer joy” says its creator

Canadian TV director/creator Jacob Tierney came on my SiriusXM program this week to discuss his new series, Heated Rivalry, which went viral on social media with a steamy trailer before the first episode ever aired—and the series continues to break the Internet. Heated Rivalry’s main characters are two hockey stars, played by actors Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, who are on opposing teams—and who secretly burn up the sheets of their hotel rooms when they’re not staring each other down on the ice. It’s based on a bestselling romance novel by Rachel Reid. The genre of gay male romance novels written by women, for women, has exploded in recent years, and Tierney, who is gay, found it fascinating. Tierney pushed the boundaries with the sex scenes, and the executives at Crave didn’t bat an eyelid—in fact, one asked for more—and HBO Max picked it up. The rest is history, as Heated Rivalry is an instant HBO Max hit and getting lots of attention in American media.
