Heated Rivalry | Two seasons and a movie all shooting this year
The smash-hit Heated Rivalry has two more seasons of the show in the can, and a movie arriving at the end of 2027. More here.
The phenomenon that is Heated Rivalry has seen the romantic drama become a bit of a juggernaut off the back of its first six episodes. A ratings, critical, awards and audience hit, it’s been little secret that a second season of the programme has been filming. But as it turns out, there’s a little bit more than that.
Season two of Heated Rivalry was first announced back in December 2025, and filming had got underway with that earlier this year. Yet as per a new report over at Deadline, the block of filming that’s been taking place is also covering a season three as well. It’s going a bit Slow Horses here by the sounds of it, getting ahead of things by a season.
Season two is expected on screens in 2027, and it’s a fair bet that season three will be held back to 2028.
Yet there’s a further twist to this as well. The episodes shoot wraps up at the end of this month, possibly the start of next. And then after that? They’re straight into shooting a standalone movie, which will now be heading into cinemas – yep, cinemas – in December 2027.
Already, it’s worth noting, episodes from the show have hit the theatrical circuit anyway, such is the soaring success of it.
Crave, the Canadian streamer at the heart of the programme, has played down reports of the two seasons and a movie (older nerds might wonder if there’s a bit of the Community playbook at work there!). Still, it had already been suggested that 12 more episodes of the show were being filmed. What wasn’t clear was it now sounds like they’re broken into two six-episode seasons.
Filming on all of this is likely to be complete by the end of December anyway, and we’ll get official word presumably on release plans for the new material in the months ahead.
