The dynamic duo from the hit show Heated Rivalry, Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, are taking Hollywood by storm as they step into thrilling new roles. Known for their electrifying portrayals of Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander in the groundbreaking queer ice hockey drama, these talented actors are poised to expand their influence beyond the rink.
Following their standout performances, Storrie and Williams have become household names, gracing magazine covers and even serving as torchbearers for the 2026 Winter Olympics. With their careers on an upward trajectory, the pair is set to reprise their roles in the highly anticipated second season of Heated Rivalry, which begins filming this summer and aims for a spring 2027 release.
Connor Storrie Ventures into Comedy with A24’s Peaked
Connor Storrie is set to bring his charisma to the big screen with A24's upcoming comedy Peaked. Written by Molly Gordon, known for her work on Theater Camp and Shiva Baby, Peaked promises to be a hilarious exploration of nostalgia and high school antics.
The plot revolves around two high school girls eager to relive their glory days at their 10-year reunion, though further details remain under wraps. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Emma Mackey from Sex Education, Simone Ashley of Bridgerton fame, and celebrated actress Laura Dern. Joining them are Allie Levitan from Saturday Night Live and Gabby Windey, beloved by fans of The Traitors and The Bachelor.
A24, the powerhouse studio behind acclaimed films like Everything Everywhere All At Once and Moonlight, plans to begin production on Peaked later this month. Although Storrie's specific role remains a mystery, anticipation is high for his comedic debut.
Hudson Williams Embraces Drama in Crave’s Yaga
Meanwhile, Hudson Williams delves deeper into the dramatic arts by joining Crave’s new series Yaga. Reuniting with the streaming platform that launched Heated Rivalry, Williams takes on a pivotal role in this adaptation of Kat Sandler’s play.
Yaga reimagines the Slavic folklore of Baba Yaga, a mythical witch-like figure, in a modern mystery setting. Williams will portray Henry Park, a young heir who vanishes, prompting an investigation by private detective Rapp, played by Schitt’s Creek star Noah Reid. The plot thickens with a clash between Rapp and local detective Carson, portrayed by Clark Backo, and involves the mysterious Katherine, played by Carrie-Anne Moss.
This dramatic series promises to intertwine elements of suspense, secret lives, and ancient magic, making it a compelling watch for audiences. Alongside Yaga, Williams is also set to appear in Netflix’s The Altruists, which chronicles the downfall of a major cryptocurrency exchange. Sharing the screen with him will be Julia Garner, Anthony Boyle, and comedian Matt Rife.
In a recent interview with GQ, Williams expressed his passion for projects driven by strong scripts and visionary direction. "It starts with the script, and comes down to the director/creator," he emphasized, highlighting the importance of quality storytelling in his career choices.
With both Storrie and Williams taking bold strides into new genres, fans eagerly await their performances in these upcoming projects. Heated Rivalry continues to stream on Crave, HBO, and NOW, showcasing the talent that has propelled these actors to new heights.
