Overview
- The series, adapted from Rachel Reid’s Game Changers, is releasing weekly on Crave in Canada and HBO Max in the US and Australia, with a UK date yet to be announced.
- After fan edits and social buzz, HBO Max joined the Crave original shortly before launch, and the show now ranks No. 2 on the service, according to Bustle.
- Showrunner Jacob Tierney describes sex as the story’s driving language, with tightly choreographed intimacy used to track the leads’ evolving communication.
- The TV version reshapes the books by spotlighting Shane’s background, stretching the relationship timeline, and dedicating an episode to teammate Scott Hunter.
- The show’s surge is already rippling through development, with Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe backing a Cleat Cute adaptation that remains in development without a network.
