Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing unnamed production sources and industry reporting over the weekend, say Seasons 2 and 3 are being filmed back-to-back with each season planned as six episodes; Crave has declined to confirm projects beyond the announced second season.
- Creator Jacob Tierney has publicly confirmed that Season 2 will be six episodes, and industry reports place Season 2’s premiere in spring 2027 with April as the likely month.
- Deadline and corroborating reports say a standalone, holiday-themed Heated Rivalry movie is slated to begin shooting in December and is being eyed for a December 2027 theatrical release, though that film and the third season remain unconfirmed by the streamer.
- Those same reports say the holiday feature would center on Season 1’s Scott and Kip and would not include the series’ central couple, Ilya and Shane, which could shift which characters get theatrical exposure.
- A limited theatrical run of Season 1 is already showing commercial appetite for the property, generating roughly $1.4 million from paired-episode screenings and strengthening the business case for banking more content to sustain audience momentum.
