Actor Dylan Walsh, known for his role in “Heated Rivalry,” caused a stir when he hinted at the possibility of filming twelve new episodes for the popular hockey romance series. His remarks, shared on the Cameo platform, sparked speculation among fans about potential multiple seasons being in the pipeline.
The 62-year-old American actor, who portrays the father of hockey player Shane Hollander on the show, expressed his fondness for his role in “Heated Rivalry” and hinted at the filming of additional episodes during a video message. However, Walsh later apologized and temporarily halted his Cameo account after acknowledging that he had spoken too freely about the production schedule and episode count without official confirmation.
While the actor’s comments fueled excitement among fans, the show’s production team has yet to address Walsh’s statements. “Heated Rivalry,” available on Crave, has garnered significant attention and acclaim, with recent developments including the announcement of new cast members for the upcoming season. The series, inspired by Rachel Reid’s “Game Changers” books, has been a critical success, earning prestigious awards such as the Peabody Award and the Canadian Screen Award for best drama series.
Filming for the highly anticipated second season is underway in Toronto and Montreal, with the show’s creator, Jacob Tierney, emphasizing a preference for concise seasons over prolonged ones. The series, which follows the clandestine romance between rival hockey players, has captivated audiences and continues to evolve with the introduction of fresh talent to its ensemble cast.
