Actor Dylan Walsh from the series “Heated Rivalry” has hinted at the possibility of filming twelve new episodes, sparking speculation among fans about potential upcoming seasons. The 62-year-old American actor made these remarks in a video shared on the Cameo platform. The video, later reposted by TikTok user Savannah Leigh, features Walsh expressing his enjoyment of being part of the show and hinting at shooting additional episodes in Canada.
However, Walsh’s disclosure may have been premature, as he has since issued an apology and temporarily suspended his Cameo account. In his statement to CBC News, Walsh admitted to speaking impulsively and creating confusion by speculating on the show’s production schedule without official confirmation.
Despite the excitement surrounding “Heated Rivalry,” the show’s production team has not yet responded to Walsh’s comments. The series has garnered significant attention and feedback from fans, with recent events including requests for privacy at filming locations and controversies over casting decisions for the upcoming season.
Walsh’s video has fueled speculation on social media about potential multiple seasons being in the works. Some fans have theorized that the mention of twelve episodes could indicate production for both the second and third seasons. The first season of “Heated Rivalry” consisted of six episodes, with the show’s creator expressing a preference for tighter storytelling over longer seasons.
Based on the Game Changers series by Canadian author Rachel Reid, “Heated Rivalry” has been acclaimed for its portrayal of the romantic relationship between hockey players Shane Hollander and Iyla Rozanov. The show has received numerous accolades, including a Peabody Award and a Canadian Screen Award for best drama series, leading to its renewal for a second season shortly after its initial release.
Filming for the second season is predominantly taking place in Toronto and Montreal, as reported by industry sources. Additionally, Crave Canada recently announced five new cast members for the upcoming season in an Instagram post, further fueling anticipation among fans and industry observers.
