Actor Dylan Walsh, known for his role in “Heated Rivalry,” hinted at the possibility of filming twelve new episodes for the popular hockey romance series. This revelation sparked fan excitement and speculation about potential multiple seasons in the works. The 62-year-old American actor shared this information in a video on the Cameo platform, which was subsequently reposted by a TikTok user named Savannah Leigh.
In the video, Walsh expressed his fondness for his role in “Heated Rivalry,” playing the father of the character Shane Hollander. He mentioned his excitement about returning to Canada to film more episodes, suggesting that twelve new episodes are in the pipeline. However, Walsh later issued an apology and temporarily paused his Cameo account after acknowledging that his comments were speculative and not based on official information.
The show’s representative has not responded to inquiries regarding Walsh’s statements. Apart from “Heated Rivalry,” Walsh has appeared in various TV series and films, including “Nip/Tuck,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Superman & Lois,” “Congo” (1995), and “The Stepfather” (2009).
Walsh’s remarks added fuel to existing fan discussions surrounding the show, which has recently faced controversies and garnered significant attention. Fans speculated on social media that the production of both the second and third seasons might be underway following Walsh’s mention of filming twelve episodes.
“Heated Rivalry” is based on Canadian author Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series and has received critical acclaim, winning prestigious awards such as a Peabody Award and a Canadian Screen Award for best drama series. The show’s success led to its renewal for a second season shortly after its initial release in November 2025.
The second season of “Heated Rivalry” is currently being filmed in Toronto and Montreal, according to Production List, an industry website. Additionally, Crave Canada recently announced five new cast members for the upcoming season, including Emily Hampshire, Edvin Ryding, Robert Naylor, Sabrina Jalees, and Priyanka, who expressed excitement about joining the “Heated Rivalry” universe. The show continues to generate buzz and anticipation among fans as production progresses.
