Heated Rivalry may have been in our lives since the end of November but the internet's obsession with the series is still going strong. And Google has playfully referenced this whilst also looking ahead to season two. For those that have missed the furore until now - we can't imagine it's that many! - Heated Rivalry is the LGBTQ+ sports drama that has gripped the internet.

Starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, two rival ice hockey players who have a passionate years-long secret fling, the show is based on Rachel Reid's Game Changers novels. The show takes its name from the second of Reid's books, which focuses on Rozanov and Hollander as they start their steamy affair. Their story is continued in The Long Game, the last of Reid's six-book series.

On The Red Carpet caught up with Rodriguez on board the Disney Destiny cruise ship. Rodriguez reacted to the Season 2 news, "I'm so excited to see where these characters go. We left off on a huge cliffhanger at the end of season one, so I think myself and everybody who loved and watched the show are very anxious to see what happens next."

Based on the 2020 documentary The Mole Agent, Michael Schur's A Man on the Inside stars Ted Danson as a widower and former engineering professor who takes a job as an assistant for a private eye, Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada). In the first season, Julie sends Danson's Charles undercover as a new resident to a senior retirement community to help her client locate a missing family heirloom.

"I'm grateful our crew has another season to keep telling them."

"We all had a great time making it. It's really nice to see the show connecting with people and to know that we get a chance to continue the story!"
