Hudson Williams jokes about Heated Rivalry being 'kinda mid'

Hudson Williams brought humour to New York City’s Lunar New Year celebrations this week, playfully poking fun at his own show, Heated Rivalry, while co-hosting the festive event alongside Bridgerton's Yerin Ha.

The pair served as hosts for the NYC Lunar New Year celebrations, welcoming crowds, introducing performances and engaging with fans throughout the event.

Amid the festivities, Williams reunited with his Heated Rivalry co-star Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova, who plays Svetlana Vetrova in the series.

Kharlamova shared a short clip with Williams on her Instagram stories where the Shane Hollander actor called his breakout show "kinda mid".

Despite the playful jab, Heated Rivalry continues to maintain a strong fan following, with viewers praising its storytelling and character dynamics. Williams’ joke has largely been received as affectionate self-parody, a reminder of the cast’s easy chemistry both on and off screen.
