‘Heated Rivalry’ hits the party scene in North Texas

Heated Rivalry has been heating up TV screens on HBO Max. And now it’s going to be heating up North Texas dance floors, with several themed raves and parties planned in the coming weeks.

The drama stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie as rival professional hockey players who compete fiercely on the ice while engaging in a passionate clandestine romance.

The Canadian series, which had a preview screening in November at the Image+Nation LGBTQ+ film festival in Montreal, has become a global sensation and a critically acclaimed hit. In December, it was renewed for a second season.
