Hudson Williams sends fans into meltdown with Wonderland cover as he opens up about Connor Storrie

Hudson Williams has once again taken over social media after new photos from his Wonderland magazine shoot sent fans into a frenzy, with the actor also making a rare and candid statement about his relationship with Heated Rivalry co-star Connor Storrie.

The Spring 2026 issue of Wonderland, featuring Williams on the cover, sold out within minutes of its release, with demand reportedly so high that the magazine’s website briefly crashed. Images from the shoot quickly spread across social platforms, generating thousands of reactions and fan edits within hours.

Williams’ rapid rise follows the massive success of the LGBTQ+ sports drama Heated Rivalry, in which he stars as hockey player Shane Hollander. Since the show’s debut in late 2025, both Williams and Storrie have become the focus of intense online attention, with fans closely following their appearances, interviews, and interactions.

“Connor and I are aligned. We want to be different artists. We don’t want to be the Olsen twins. We want to be Connor and Hudson, with different filmographies and different deals. As much as we love each other, our friendship doesn’t need to be public,” Williams said.

"Jacob has that quote: 'Shane and Ilya are for the public. Connor and Hudson are for themselves' and that's how we feel," he furhter told Sophie Nelisse. 

The actor also reflected on navigating sudden fame, describing the experience as surreal but grounding. He emphasized that while fan enthusiasm has been overwhelming, his focus remains on longevity, growth, and choosing projects that allow him to evolve beyond one role.

Following the release of the photos, fans flooded social media with praise for the shoot’s styling and confidence, with many calling the images a defining moment in Williams’ breakout year. The viral response further cemented his status as one of 2026’s most talked-about rising stars.

As Heated Rivalry continues to dominate online conversation and both leads remain under constant spotlight, Williams’ Wonderland moment stands out as a major milestone — highlighting his individual ascent while acknowledging the partnership that helped introduce him to global audiences.
