π° What Happened
Actor Hudson Williams is writing a movie of his own. One character is a former hockey player, close to the role he plays on Heated Rivalry. He told Entertainment Weekly the team keeps getting stuck on it.
He said they even talked about switching to another sport. But the character just made more sense as a former hockey player.
He described writing as breaking out of the prison of your own mind. He is also filming season 2 of Heated Rivalry.
π The Backstory
Williams plays Shane Hollander, captain of the Ottawa Centaurs, in Heated Rivalry. Season 2 is based on Rachel Reid's novel The Long Game.
Production on the second season began in Canada in August. The cast adds Justice Smith, Emily Hampshire, Edvin Ryding, Nick Stahl and others.
Season 2 is set to premiere in spring 2027. The show comes from Crave and is made by director Jacob Tierney.
π― Why It Matters
Actors often get stuck playing one kind of role. Watching them write their own stories shows how they try to break out of that box.
