Heated Rivalry Season 2 confirms returning cast members

The second season of the hockey drama ‘Heated Rivalry’ has confirmed several returning cast members. François Arnaud and Robbie G. K. will reprise their roles as Scott Hunter and Kip Grady, characters whose story originates from the first ‘Game Changers’ book by Rachel Reid.

Other returning actors include Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, who lead the series as Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. The ensemble will also see the return of Sophie Nélisse as Rose, Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova as Svetlana, Callan Potter as Hayden, Benjamin Roy as JJ, and Kamilla Kowal as Jackie. Christina Chang and Dylan Walsh will also return as Shane’s parents.

Season 2 will adapt ‘The Long Game’, the second book in Reid’s series, which explores the lives of Shane and Ilya ten years after their initial relationship began. The season will also incorporate elements from the fifth book, ‘Role Model’. The series is created by Jacob Tierney and produced by Accent Aigu Entertainment in association with Bell Media’s Crave.
