Actor Dylan Walsh from the popular series “Heated Rivalry” sparked excitement among fans by hinting at the potential filming of twelve new episodes during a recent Cameo video. The 62-year-old American actor, known for his role as the father of hockey player Shane Hollander portrayed by Canadian actor Hudson Williams, expressed his pride in being part of the show and hinted at upcoming filming plans in Canada.
Walsh’s casual remarks in the video led to speculation about multiple seasons being in the works, with fans eagerly anticipating more content from the hit hockey romance series. However, following the video’s release, Walsh issued an apology and temporarily suspended his Cameo account after acknowledging that his comments were speculative and not based on official information.
The series creator and director, Jacob Tierney, has yet to respond to inquiries regarding Walsh’s comments. The show, which has garnered significant attention and praise, is available on Bell Media’s streaming platform Crave and has been a favorite among viewers since its release.
With Walsh’s video fueling rumors about potential new seasons, fans have taken to social media to discuss the show’s future production plans. The first season of “Heated Rivalry” consisted of six episodes, and Tierney previously mentioned his preference for tighter seasons rather than longer ones in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
Based on the Game Changers series by Canadian author Rachel Reid, “Heated Rivalry” has received numerous accolades, including a Peabody Award and a Canadian Screen Award for Best Drama Series. The show was renewed for a second season shortly after its debut in November 2025 and is currently filming in Toronto and Montreal.
In a recent Instagram post, Crave Canada unveiled five new cast members for the upcoming season, generating further excitement among fans. The additions to the cast include Emily Hampshire, Edvin Ryding, Robert Naylor, Sabrina Jalees, and Priyanka, with the latter expressing enthusiasm for joining the “Heated Rivalry” universe.
The show continues to captivate audiences and remains a standout in the Canadian TV landscape, with its unique storyline and talented cast earning widespread acclaim.
