On What He’d ‘Like To See’ In ‘Heated Rivalry’ Season 2"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tRobbie G.K.<\/a> would love to explore what happens after Kip\u2019s sweeping kiss with Scott (Fran\u00e7ois Arnaud) in Heated Rivalry<\/a> Season 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Canadian actor spoke to People<\/a> about ways the hotly anticipated second season of the Jacob Tierney<\/a>-created series could further explore the couple\u2019s relationship. The two characters\u2019 romance was first introduced in a standalone episode midway through the show\u2019s run, with G.K. portraying a graduate art student and smoothie barista and Arnaud playing a high-profile closeted hockey player.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe catch Scott and Kip on the very top of the rollercoaster of our storyline, and I think that there\u2019s a whole lot that could be explored after the fact,\u201d G.K. told the publication. \u201cSo I\u2019d like to see some of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on Rachel Reid<\/a>\u2018s Game Changers book series, the eponymous first novel follows Scott and Kip\u2019s budding romance; in the Crave Canada show, the couple\u2019s public kiss catalyzes a major dynamic shift between main characters and superstar hockey rivals Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), as the latter is spurred to visit the former at his private cottage, the site where the two finally confess their love.<\/p>\n

G.K. added of the \u201cunbelievable\u201d response to the show, which took the world by storm: \u201cTo be here on this carpet, let alone here in Los Angeles, and the impact the show has had, so I think every day it\u2019s becoming more and more real and settling in, but yeah, it\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this year, Deadline exclusively announced G.K. signed with\u00a0Amplified\u00a0for management<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tExecutive producer, writer and director Tierney teased to Deadline his plans for Season 2<\/a>, which include potentially splitting the book it will be based on, The Long Game, into a two-parter. The Letterkenny developer previously revealed the expected timeline for Season 2\u2019s release is April 2027<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s currently unclear if Season 2 will delve into Scott and Kip storylines, as The Long Game is a direct sequel to the Shane and Ilya story. The former couple offers a supporting role in Common Goal, the fourth installment in Reid\u2019s series. The author is working on a seventh entry, called Unrivaled<\/a>, which will cap off the Hollanov trilogy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robbie G.K. would love to explore what happens after Kip\u2019s sweeping kiss with Scott (Fran\u00e7ois Arnaud) in Heated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":579223,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[88,172849,162094,162096,181897,178078,92],"class_list":{"0":"post-579222","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-francois-arnaud","10":"tag-heated-rivalry","11":"tag-jacob-tierney","12":"tag-rachel-reid","13":"tag-robbie-g-k","14":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=579222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579222\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/579223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=579222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=579222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=579222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
