'Heated Rivalry' stars bring steam to Globes stage
12 Jan
Summary
- Heated Rivalry stars made their Golden Globes presenting debut.
- The show is based on Rachel Reid's queer hockey romance novels.
- Despite praise, the show isn't Emmy eligible due to foreign financing.
Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, the dynamic duo behind the hit series 'Heated Rivalry,' recently graced the Golden Globes stage for their awards show presenting debut. The pair, known for their steamy on-screen portrayals of professional hockey players who fall in love, injected humor and charm into their first major Hollywood event, joking about their show's widespread recognition.
The series, which has surged to global fame within weeks of its premiere, is adapted from Rachel Reid's popular queer hockey romance novels. Created by Jacob Tierney, the show is a production of Canadian streamer Crave and is accessible to U.S. audiences via HBO Max, with a second season already in development.
Despite its significant popularity and critical acclaim, 'Heated Rivalry' faces a unique challenge regarding awards: it is not eligible for Emmy awards. This ineligibility stems from its financing model, which is entirely outside the United States, preventing HBO Max from qualifying as a producer or co-financier for the first season and upcoming seasons.
