Sky picks up 'Heated Rivalry' season 2 as 'Yaga' and A24’s 'Superfakes' join slate

Sky has secured the second season of the hit drama Heated Rivalry, as well as new series Yaga starring Hudson Williams and the A24‑produced Superfakes for its upcoming programming lineup.

The acquisitions were announced by Sky on March 18, 2026, expanding the broadcaster’s roster with high‑profile international content.

Heated Rivalry became a breakout sensation following its 2025 premiere on Crave and HBO Max, quickly earning critical acclaim and a global fanbase for its emotional storytelling and LGBTQ+‑forward narrative about rival professional hockey players whose on‑ice conflict turns into a passionate romance.

Season 2 will continue to follow the central characters as they navigate their evolving relationship and the personal challenges that come with fame, competition and love on and off the ice. Though a release date has not yet been confirmed, the renewal reflects strong demand and engagement from audiences worldwide.

In addition to Heated Rivalry, Sky’s slate includes Yaga, featuring Hudson Williams in a leading role, and Superfakes, a new series from acclaimed studio A24 and filmmakers known for bold, genre‑defying projects. These acquisitions signal Sky’s commitment to diverse storytelling and high‑quality international series.

Heated Rivalry Season 1 first premiered in November 2025 on Crave in Canada and later streamed internationally through HBO Max and Sky platforms, expanding its reach across multiple regions. The series has been praised for its writing, character depth and authentic portrayal of queer relationships in sports.

Fans can expect more updates soon as production progresses on Season 2 and Sky continues to roll out its 2026 content lineup, bringing fresh stories and standout performances to global audiences.
