Heated Rivalry has been all anyone’s been talking about, and for good reason. The show, which is a queer hockey -meets-romance, follows two top male players and fierce rivals working through the trials and tribulations of maintaining a public image, while secretly seeing each other off the ice. One, an Ottawa-born go-getter, Shane Hollander and bad-boy Russian Ilya Rozanov . The pair’s relationship is complicated, but it gets you hooked from the first episode on. It’s a game of cat and mouse, a “will they or won’t they” situation that we at ShopBillboard can’t get enough of. The sixth and final episode of the first season is set to air via HBO Max on Dec. 26 at midnight ET and 9pm PT, a great Christmas gift from the streaming service. Not to fret, though, this isn’t the end of the star-crossed hockey romance. The show has already been renewed for a second season. If you didn’t know, the show was created by Jacob Tierney and adapted from a book of the same name by author Rachel Reid, a book which you can shop below. The show hasn’t just been a hit with TV-watchers and hockey fans. Among music fans, the show’s soundtrack has done some big things. The show’s first three episodes featured tracks from Feist, Wet Leg and Wolf Parade, have all received Heated Rivalry -assisted bumps in streaming - and the numbers are just getting bigger and bigger. In episode four, a chaotic and tension-filled moment at a Canadian nightclub set to t.A.T.u.’s All the Things She Said , gave the song a major bump in streaming, creating a viral moment for the show and the track.
