- On SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Hudson Williams said he has received anonymous messages from closeted professional athletes across hockey, football and basketball, with many notes routed via author Rachel Reid and others sent directly through social media.
- During his Tonight Show appearance, Williams discussed on‑set intimacy practices and described the modesty garment used for sex scenes, offering a rare peek at how the production handles explicit moments.
- The breakout leads are making their U.S. late‑night debuts on Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, and they are set to present at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 11.
- Responding to complaints about explicit content, Williams argued the show faces a double standard compared with heterosexual scenes, stressing that the intimacy is handled without nudity beyond what the camera implies.
- International expansion continues with a Jan. 10 launch on Sky/NOW in the U.K. and Ireland, and the NHL praised the series as an unusually effective driver of new hockey fans.
