Heated Rivalry Star Says Season 2 Could Film This Summer as Cast Details Creative Shift That Preserved On-Screen Intimacy

New comments describe a tentative summer 2026 shoot made possible by choosing Crave over a U.S. streamer that sought to limit intimacy.

Overview

  • Connor Storrie said on the Today show that creator Jacob Tierney is writing Season 2 and that filming could begin as early as summer 2026, though no dates are set.
  • François Arnaud told CBS Mornings the series left an unnamed U.S. streamer after restrictive notes that included “no kissing until episode five.”
  • Tierney has praised Crave for not asking to tone down intimacy, a stance widely credited with the show’s viral traction and strong reception.
  • Storrie recounted convincingly delivering Russian on set and briefly fooling a background actor, reflecting the cast’s language and accent preparation.
  • The breakout has vaulted Storrie and Hudson Williams onto major talk shows and awards stages, with the series streaming on HBO Max and rolling out on Sky/NOW.
