Heated Rivalry’s Jacob Tierney Asks Fans for “Space” Ahead of Season 2

Heated Rivalry fans may be skating on thin ice. 

As filming for season two of the hit hockey romance series begins, the show’s creator Jacob Tierney urged super fans of the book-to-TV adaptation to refrain from disrupting production. 

“To our incredible fans and everyone who’s been sharing in the excitement for the show: Your support, enthusiasm, and kindness have meant the world to us,” Tierney wrote in an Aug. 4 statement shared to his production company Accent Aigu Entertainment as well as Heated Rivalry’s official Instagram accounts. “As we gear up for more Heated Rivalry, please help us in making it the best it can be.”

“If you happen to come across one of our filming locations, please give our cast and crew the space they need to do what they do best,” the statement added. “We promise it’ll be worth the wait! Your Heated Rivalry Family.”

Season one of the hit HBO show followed hockey stars Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) as they engaged in a steamy yearslong romance while convincing hockey fans that their relationship extended no further than a tense, well, rivalry.
