'Heated Rivalry' stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie set to present at 2026 Golden Globes

Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie will present at the 2026 Golden Globes following success of 'Heated Rivalry'

Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, the breakout stars of the series Heated Rivalry, are scheduled to present at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, according to a source at the Golden Globes who confirmed the news to Deadline.

The pair will appear on stage at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, where the 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony will be held.

The appearance marks the first major awards show presentation for Williams and Storrie, following the recent success of Heated Rivalry. The series, created by Jacob Tierney and based on the novel series by Rachel Reid, began streaming on HBO Max in December after originally airing on Crave.

The show follows rival professional hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov, portrayed by Williams and Storrie, whose on-ice rivalry contrasts with a secret romantic relationship away from the rink.

The popularity of the series has positioned both actors prominently during the current awards season. Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Storrie would also present the nominations for the SAG-AFTRA Actor Awards alongside Janelle James of Abbott Elementary.

Their co-star François Arnaud has similarly appeared on the awards circuit, presenting at the Critics’ Choice Awards.

In the wake of the show’s reception, Williams has signed with Creative Artists Agency. Heated Rivalry has also been renewed for a second season by Crave, with HBO Max set to stream the new episodes once they are released. The first season consists of six episodes and is available to stream in full.

The 2026 Golden Globe Awards will air live on Sunday, January 11, at 8 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. PT on CBS, with streaming available on Paramount+.
