is there a timeline for when Jacob Tierney got the rights to the books and wrote the scripts to when filming began for season 1? I’m wondering what to expect for season 2.

Hey Anon!

This article from the Toronto Star does a pretty good job of going over the timeline. It will be interesting to see how it reflects what we can expect for season 2 if at all.

2020 Pandemic - Tierney listens to Heated Rivalry audiobook

August 2023 - Tierney reads a Washington Post article explaining the buzz around hockey romance novels, including Heated Rivalry

August 2023 - Tierney DMs Rachel Reid about optioning the books

August 2023 - Tierney immediately started writing the first episode

Early 2024 - Tierney and Brady had their first meeting with Bell Media

Mid 2024 - Peter Peter was recruited to screen compose for the season

Early 2025 - casting finalized

April 2025 - production started and lasted 36 days

Summer 2025 - post-production began

November 2025 -series debut (moved up from the originally planned February 2026 date)

Before it was a global obsession, ‘Heated Rivalry’ was a massive gamble. The inside story of the smash Canadian show

"Am I gonna get fired?" The creator, execs, actors and more share the untold story of Crave's unstoppable hit.
