Heated Rivalry<\/a> star Fran\u00e7ois Arnaud<\/a> is happy the show has a fan in Miley Cyrus<\/a> \u2013 even if she hasn\u2019t actually seen it.<\/p>\n

The Flowers singer told Variety at the Palm Springs International Film Festival gala that she would be \u201cso in\u201d to provide a new track for the sports romance series\u2019 next season, after being asked about liking a Heated Rivalry post on Instagram. Fran\u00e7ois, who portrays Scott Hunter on the show, responded with a quip about Heated Rivalry\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n

Could Miley do a song for Heated Rivalry Season 2?<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not watched [Heated Rivalry] yet, but this is on my to-do list now,\u201d Miley told the entertainment publication. \u201cIt\u2019s all I\u2019ve heard about \u2014 every conversation I\u2019ve had today has started with you, \u2018You have to [watch it].\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

When Variety <\/a>followed up with Fran\u00e7ois at the Critics\u2019 Choice Awards red carpet last night, he jokingly expressed doubts about Miley\u2019s inclusion<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we might get a little bit bigger budget for Season 2, but I don\u2019t know if we get Miley budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois did have an idea to fix that issue, however. \u201cI think if she sees the show, she might give us a discount,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Heated Rivalry is one of television\u2019s biggest hits<\/a> in recent years. The Canadian series quickly became the most-watched original series ever on its country of origin\u2019s Crave streamer. When it went international on HBO Max, it swiftly became the streamer\u2019s top-rated non-animated acquired series since its 2020 launch. Its renewal for season two came almost immediately after airing.<\/p>\n

When asked about his character Scott\u2019s romance with Kip in the next season, Fran\u00e7ois hoped the two could reconcile. \u201cI would want them to face the continuing challenges of someone uber-famous being with someone who didn\u2019t choose that for his life at all and is forced into it.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201c[Kip] has to stop working out. That\u2019s what I want to see. Like, he\u2019s a smoothie boy. Why does he have the best body out of all of us?\u201d<\/p>\n
