Heated Rivalry Season 2 is heading into what its creative team calls 'serious territory,' with author Rachel Reid and showrunner Jacob Tierney explaining this week how the relationship between Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams is being rebuilt for the next chapter of the Crave adaptation and its companion novel, Unrivaled.
The new season draws on Reid's Game Changers series, particularly Heated Rivalry and The Long Game, which charted the slow burn enemies to lovers arc at the heart of the story. With Unrivaled delayed and the television adaptation still taking shape, both the page and screen versions of the relationship are evolving at the same time, leaving fans guessing about how far the pair will be pushed next.
