Fans of the sports romance hit Heated Rivalry will soon have a chance to revisit the series on the big screen ahead of Season 2. The theatrical release offers viewers an opportunity to relive the romance before the show returns next year.
Major chains, including Regal, AMC, and Cinemark, are bringing all six episodes of Heated Rivalry Season 1 back to the big screen across North America for a limited theatrical run from November 6 to November 30, 2026. The special event arrives nearly a year after the series originally premiered on Crave on November 28, 2025.
“When a series connects with audiences the way ‘Heated Rivalry’ has, we look for ways to bring it to the big screen and give fans a reason to experience it together,” Brooks LeBoeuf, the senior vice president of U.S. content at Regal, said on Thursday in anticipation of the show’s upcoming theatrical run.
“Nearly a year after its premiere, we’re proud to work with our partners to turn a season fans have watched again and again into a true theatrical event. It’s a chance to celebrate the story, its creators, and its performances before Season 2 arrives in 2027,” LeBoeuf added.
What fans can expect from Heated Rivalry’s theatrical run ahead of Season 2
Heated Rivalry will be released in theaters across three paired screenings, with two episodes at a time. They are: Episodes 1 and 2 (“Rookies” and “Olympians”), Episodes 3 and 4 (“Hunter” and “Rose”), and Episodes 5 and 6 (“I’ll Believe in Anything” and “The Cottage”). Fans can get tickets for each pairing at $9.99.
Heated Rivalry is a queer hockey romance series based on the Game Changers book series by Rachel Reid. It stars Hudson Williams as Shane Hollander and Connor Storrie as Ilya Rozanov, two professional hockey players and bitter rivals on the ice who secretly maintain a romantic relationship.
The series became a global sensation, with the leading duo receiving critical acclaim for their performances. Fans are now waiting for Season 2, which will arrive in Spring 2027.
