Walsh Apologizes for Incorrect Speculation on Heated Rivalry Production

In a recent statement to Variety, Walsh clarified his recent comments concerning the production schedule and episode count of the series Heated Rivalry, acknowledging he spoke without confirmation during a Cameo appearance. “I don’t have any official information to announce, and I’m sorry for creating confusion for the production and the fans,” the 62-year-old said on August 13. He has since paused his Cameo account.

Walsh, who stars alongside Connor Storrie as Ilya Rozanov, expressed his appreciation for being part of the series, stating, “I’m incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm surrounding Heated Rivalry and proud to be part of the series.”

While details about the episode count remain unannounced, the production has revealed new cast members joining the second season. Charlie Gillespie and Justice Smith will portray Troy Barrett and Harris Drover, respectively. Additional cast members include Emily Hampshire from Schitt’s Creek, Edvin Ryding from Young Royals, Drag Race Canada winner Priyanka, comedian Sabrina Jalees, and actor Robert Naylor.

Season two of Heated Rivalry is slated to premiere in spring 2027.
