Crave has officially cast Justice Smith and Charlie Gillespie as Harris Drover and Troy Barrett for the second season of the hit queer hockey drama Heated Rivalry. The characters, beloved by readers of Rachel Reid’s Game Changers book series, have been highly anticipated by fans.

Production for Season 2 is already underway, with a release window set for spring 2027. Following the massive success of its debut season, which became Crave’s most-watched original series, the show continues to expand its reach globally.
