Actor Dylan Walsh from the series “Heated Rivalry” caused a stir when he mentioned that there could be a dozen new episodes in the works, sparking speculation among fans about potential multiple seasons. The 62-year-old American actor shared this information in a video on Cameo, a platform for personalized celebrity videos. The video was later reposted by TikTok user Savannah Leigh.
Portraying the role of Shane Hollander’s father in the show, Walsh expressed his love for being part of “Heated Rivalry” and hinted at returning to Canada to film more episodes, indicating a possible 12-episode count for the upcoming production.
However, Walsh faced backlash and subsequently apologized for his remarks, clarifying that he spoke informally and lacked official information about the production schedule. His Cameo account has been paused temporarily. Despite inquiries, the show’s representative has not responded to the comments made by Walsh.
Apart from “Heated Rivalry,” Walsh has been featured in various TV series and films, including “Nip/Tuck,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Superman & Lois,” “Congo” (1995), and “The Stepfather” (2009).
The excitement surrounding “Heated Rivalry” has been amplified by recent incidents, such as fans rushing to buy branded merchandise and criticism over casting choices for Season 2. Walsh’s video has sparked discussions on social media, with some speculating about potential production for both the second and third seasons of the series.
The show, based on the Game Changers book series by Rachel Reid, has garnered numerous awards, including a Peabody Award and a Canadian Screen Award for best drama series. Renewed for a second season shortly after its debut, filming for the new season is underway in Toronto and Montreal.
In a recent Instagram post, Crave Canada announced five new cast members for the upcoming season, further fueling anticipation among fans.
