MISSING HEATED RIVALRY?
Shane's + Ilya’s Next Flings
It has been too long since the steamy HBO series Heated Rivalry skated onto our TV screens. The ice has sadly started to freeze back over after Ilya (Connor Storrie) and Shane (Hudson Williams) melted it with their sexy love affair. Though we know you’re (rightfully) on your eighth rewatch, we figure the beautiful boys of Heated Rivalry can add some pleasure to your life in other ways. It’s time to devour that eye candy.

Since their breakout in the first season of Heated Rivalry, Connor and Hudson have been booked and busy. Nearly every awards show wanted to capitalize on their insane chemistry — and can we blame them? No! Any excuse to see them on our screens is a good one. There isn’t enough content out there, we say.

Lucky for us, the film and TV industry is out to make our wildest, sexiest dreams come true. It feels like there is a new announcement every day about what these men are up to. They are the hottest commodities and they’re choosing interesting parts as their next projects.

Connor Storrie has three projects in the pipeline. Connor will star in Molly Gordon’s sophomore film, Peaked, which follows two women who peaked in high school attending their 10-year reunion. We can only assume Connor is playing the hunky guy from high school who everyone wanted to sleep with. Connor loves working with female directors, it seems, because he’s also starring in Halina Reijn’s follow-up to the iconic, sexy film Babygirl called Please. Finally, he’ll act alongside Melissa McCarthy in a thriller called Turpentine. Can these titles come now?

If you thought Connor’s lineup was impressive, just wait. Hudson Williams has a whopping seven projects in production. He’ll first appear on our TVs for a mystery series called Yaga. He’ll appear in all eight episodes, so we’ll get a taste of him every airing. Hudson is also taking on a thriller set in NYC’s high-end culinary world titled Tyrant. He’ll star opposite Charlize Theron, Demi Moore and Julia Garner. Probably his buzziest get so far is starring alongside fellow It Boy Dylan O’Brien for Apparatus, a comedy thriller that follows a rideshare driver who gets unraveled by an entrepreneur.

Now, Connor and Hudson may have all of these brilliant projects planned, but that’s not it. Of course they’re coming back for Heated Rivalry’s second season. So while we long for the day when we’ll see them at the cottage in their full glory, we’ll still enjoy the teases we’ll get along the way.
