"I don't need to do 10. I would always rather tighten the belt than get loosey-goosey. I would rather be like, 'Let's see how much story we can pack into these episodes.'"
"We want everybody to be left yearning. That's what everybody loves about this show. Less is more!"
"Just like you can't tell the story without Scott Hunter, you can't really tell the story without Troy Barrett."
Heated Rivalry centers on the secret romance between longtime hockey rivals Ilya and Shane and adapts Rachel Reid's Game Changers novels. Jacob Tierney optioned the entire book series, including the forthcoming Unrivaled, and plans to base Season 2 on The Long Game while considering whether to split that book across seasons. Tierney capped Season 2 at six episodes and emphasized tighter storytelling over longer episode counts. Producing partner Brendan Brady said the show should leave viewers yearning. Tierney plans to introduce more Game Changers characters, including Troy Barrett and Scott Hunter. No premiere date was specified.
