The Heated Rivalry cast joins Demi Lovato and Jonathan Bennett at the 37th GLAAD Media Awards in L.A

The cast and creatives of Heated Rivalry are set to attend the 37th annual GLAAD Media Awards, taking place March 5 in Los Angeles.

The ceremony will stream exclusively on Hulu later this month, organizers confirmed.

The series is nominated for Outstanding New TV Series, placing it among the notable contenders recognized for LGBTQ+ representation in television. The annual awards honor inclusive storytelling across film, TV, music and journalism.

Demi Lovato will perform during the ceremony ahead of launching an arena tour in support of the album “It’s Not That Deep.” Lovato, a previous recipient of the GLAAD Vanguard Award, remains one of the most prominent LGBTQ+ artists in pop music.

Actor and producer Jonathan Bennett will return as host. Bennett previously won a GLAAD Media Award for outstanding film — streaming or TV for “The Groomsmen: Second Chances” and is a two-time nominee this year.

Additional confirmed attendees include Laverne Cox, Lili Reinhart, journalist Don Lemon, political commentator Jonathan Capehart and Olympic champion Tom Daley. More presenters and guests are expected to be announced.

Founded in 1990, the GLAAD Media Awards recognize fair, accurate and inclusive portrayals of LGBTQ+ individuals and issues across 32 categories. The 2026 ceremony continues the organization’s mission of spotlighting impactful media representation while drawing major figures from entertainment, journalism and sports.
