Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are slated to present at Sunday’s 2026 Golden Globe Awards, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.
Sunday’s Globes marks the pair’s first awards outing since the release of the HBO-Max crave series. Their Heated Rivalry co-star François Arnaud presented at the Critics Choice Awards over the weekend.
Williams and Storrie are in the midst of a meteoric rise following the success of show. Despite the series ending on Dec. 26, both actors are still virtually everywhere with their profiles only continuing to grow. Their press tour has been touted as “truly joyful” and sparked attention and love online before the series even premiered.
Earlier this week it was announced that Williams would make his late-night debut with an interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (Jan. 7). Storrie is slated to make his late-night debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers next week (Jan. 12). Both Williams and Storrie have also signed to CAA for representation.
Heated Rivalry, hailing from Canadian streamer Crave and airing on HBO Max in the U.S., was created for television by Letterkenny alum Jacob Tierney, and centers around a fictional hockey universe. The show focuses on two rival professional players — Canada-born Shane Hollander (Williams) of the fictitious Montreal Metros and Russia-born Ilya Rozanov (Storrie) of the fictitious Boston Raiders — as they navigate a near-decade-long situationship turned (spoiler alert) relationship.
Crave renewed Heated Rivalry for a second season and HBO Max confirmed they’ll continue to air the series. Tierney, who wrote and directed the show’s entire first season, has confirmed that he’ll return to direct the series, but told THR ahead of Heated Rivalry’s finale that he was considering the possibility “that other writers will come in to help” him out, but that he wasn’t sure yet.
