Heated Rivalry brings a whole new intensity to the enemies-to-lovers trope. Starring Hudson Williams as Shane Hollander and Connor Storrie as Ilya Rozanov, the Canadian Crave series — which streams on HBO Max for American viewers — saw its fandom explode overnight. As each week passes by, viewers want to know what exact time they can watch every new episode through the end of season 1.
“What begins as a secret fling between two fresh-faced rookies evolves into a years-long journey of love, denial, and self-discovery,” the show’s synopsis reads. “Over the next eight years, as they chase glory on the ice, they struggle to navigate their feelings for each other. Torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore, Shane and Ilya must decide if there’s room in their fiercely competitive world for something as fragile – and powerful – as real love.”
