On a Thursday night in December, the stars of Heated Rivalry walked into the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. The occasion was an industry party the two men would not have been invited to just a few weeks ago, held at a hotel that would have likely turned them away. But then their smutty, NSFW drama about two closeted pro hockey players became a surprise hit on HBO Max. So Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams were welcomed inside like royalty—two smooth-chested crown princes mingling with Baz Luhrmann, Vicky Krieps, and the cast of The Pitt.
‘Heated Rivalry’ and the Art of a Truly Joyful Press Tour
During an otherwise bleak news cycle, the stars of a queer Canadian hockey drama have managed to win hearts and viewers.
It’s not often you see a press tour that is as joy-filled as the project that it’s publicizing — even rarer is one that seems to peddle the same crackling chemistry off- as it does onscreen.
But that’s what appears to be happening with Canada’s queer romance series Heated Rivalry, which centers on closeted hockey rivals Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), and is based on a book series by the same name. The six-episode first season made its U.S. debut on HBO Max in late November — and in the weeks since, the series that New York magazine says makes “Heartstopper seem like Teletubbies” has flooded the Internet with swoon-worthy GIFs, memes and myriad think pieces, as its wide-eyed stars dole out one viral interview after another. (If you haven’t yet watched Williams’ five minute skincare routine, which is somehow 20 minutes long, it is a sheer delight.)
