Heated Rivalry Eyes Summer Start for Season 2 as Cast Underscores Creative Freedom

Connor Storrie told TODAY that filming could begin this summer, with Jacob Tierney still writing after moving the show to Canada for greater control over its intimacy and tone.

Overview

  • Storrie said on TODAY that Season 2 could film as early as summer 2026, noting there is no firm start date while creator Jacob Tierney continues writing.
  • François Arnaud said an earlier U.S. streaming partner pushed for “no kissing until episode five,” a note he says prompted Tierney to take the project to Canada.
  • The breakout series was produced for Crave and is streaming on HBO Max in the U.S., with international rollouts expanding its audience.
  • On the press tour, Storrie recounted speaking Russian convincingly enough to fool a background actor and said his father has not watched the show.
  • Storrie also shared that he nearly lost a restaurant job the day he learned he was cast, while emphasizing that the team does not want to rush Season 2.
