Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are set to take the stage at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards. Their presentation role is a high-profile moment for the young actors. This follows a wave of publicity for their hit series Heated Rivalry.

The duo has a packed schedule in the coming days. On Wednesday, January 7, Storrie will present at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards. This event was formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Williams will make his late-night debut on the same day. He is scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on January 7. He will also participate in a radio interview with Andy Cohen Live on Thursday, January 8.

Connor Storrie will follow with his own late-night debut. He is scheduled to appear on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday, January 12. These appearances highlight the industry's interest in the show's leading men.

The series Heated Rivalry has seen a surge in popularity following its Season 1 finale. The show was recently nominated for Outstanding New TV Series at the 37th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Fan excitement has also pushed for the show to receive Emmy recognition.

Episode 5 of the series holds a 9.9 rating on IMDb. This ranks it as one of the highest-rated TV episodes of all time on the platform. Fans have specifically praised Storrie's Russian monologue in that episode.

Despite the high ratings, the show faces a hurdle regarding the Emmy Awards. Because the series is funded by Bell Media and not co-produced by an American company, it is ineligible to submit for the Emmys. However, it is eligible for the International Emmy Awards.

When Season 2 was announced last month, the streaming platform Crave shared viewership statistics. Heated Rivalry quickly became the platform's top original series of all time. Viewership increased by almost 400% within two weeks of the premiere date.

Jacob Tierney serves as the creator, director, and writer of Heated Rivalry. He recently discussed the future of the series. The show is based on Rachel Reid's Game Changers book series.

Tierney addressed the timeline for Season 2. He confirmed that the new season will not release at the same time of year as Season 1. He noted that he has not yet begun writing the script for the second season.

Despite the writing timeline, Tierney offered a release window estimate. He expects the season to release shortly after the current window. This seems to point toward a release in early 2027.

Tierney provided specific details on the speed of production. He stated, "It's not gonna be two years. It's not even gonna be 18 months, I don't think. So we're gonna go as fast as we can, while ensuring that we're doing as good a job as we possibly can."

The show is also expanding its global footprint. Heated Rivalry is being released internationally. It is scheduled to launch in the UK on January 10 via Sky.
