Actor Dylan Walsh from the popular series “Heated Rivalry” has caused a stir by hinting at the potential filming of twelve new episodes, sparking speculation among fans about the possibility of multiple future seasons.
The 62-year-old American actor shared this information in a video on the Cameo platform, where celebrities create personalized video messages for a fee. The video was later reposted by TikTok user Savannah Leigh, who received it as a birthday gift.
Walsh, who portrays the father of hockey player Shane Hollander on the show, expressed his fondness for his role in “Heated Rivalry” and hinted at the filming of 12 new episodes in Canada. However, his comments led to controversy, prompting him to apologize and temporarily halt his Cameo account.
In his statement to CBC News, Walsh acknowledged that his remarks were speculative and apologized for any confusion caused to fans and the show’s production team. Despite the excitement surrounding “Heated Rivalry,” the show’s representatives have not yet responded to queries regarding Walsh’s statements.
Apart from his role in “Heated Rivalry,” Walsh has been part of various TV series and films, including “Nip/Tuck,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” and “Superman & Lois.”
The recent buzz surrounding “Heated Rivalry” follows a series of events, including a plea from the series creator, Jacob Tierney, for privacy at production locations and fan outrage over casting choices for the upcoming season. Fans have been speculating on social media about the show’s future production, with some suggesting the filming of an unannounced third season alongside the second season.
Based on the Game Changers series by Canadian author Rachel Reid, “Heated Rivalry” has garnered critical acclaim, winning prestigious awards such as a Peabody Award and a Canadian Screen Award for Best Drama Series. The show, available on Crave, was renewed for a second season shortly after its debut in November 2025.
Filming for the second season primarily takes place in Toronto and Montreal, as indicated by industry sources. Moreover, Crave Canada recently announced five new cast members for the upcoming season, generating excitement among fans and the cast alike.
