In addition to being a die-hard fan of filmmaking, television, video gaming, and anything else with a gripping narrative, Aidan Kelley is also a passionate and detail-oriented writer and journalist at Collider.com. In addition to his work as a Senior Resource Writer, Aidan has also contributed to Collider's features and news reporting sections. He has covered major industry events, such as San Diego Comic-Con and the D23 Expo, and has had the privelege of interviewing industry stars like Bruce Campbell, Maggie Q, Chad Stahelski, and more. This sincere love for the art of storytelling began at a young age, with Aidan making video movie reviews for the news program at his local high school. That love only increased over the years, with an ongoing career in independent filmmaking and screenwriting after graduating with a degree in Film and television from DePaul University.

Heated Rivalry took the world by storm when it premiered last year, but the hockey romance series is only just getting started. After already getting renewed for Season 2, Deadline has revealed that not only has the series been renewed for Season 3 early, but it is already starting filming, with Seasons 2 and 3 shooting back to back. And that’s not all, as in addition to two more seasons, Deadline has also learned that a Heated Rivalry movie is also in the works.

Starring Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie (the latter of whom is reportedly in talks for the villain of Ryan Gosling’s Ghost Rider movie), the Crave original series follows two rival hockey players who are doing their best to level up in the notoriously aggressive sport. However, the more time the two players spend with each other, the more they start to develop complicated and unexpected romantic feelings for each other, leading to all sorts of complications for themselves and their hockey careers. After being picked up by HBO as a U.S. distributor, Heated Rivalry skyrocketed in popularity, even giving longtime hits like House of the Dragon and The Pitt a run for their money as a frequent No. 1 streaming chart topper.
