How hot is 'Heated Rivalry'? In the three months since the steamy Canadian hockey romance debuted on HBO Max, a TV-studio development exec who focuses on literary acquisitions has been fielding pitches from publishers on possible clones. “I just got sent a male-male tennis romance that’s 'Heated Rivalry' meets 'Challengers'.” HBO and HBO Max content chief Casey Bloys hasn’t heard about that specific book, but he has one word of advice for fellow execs thinking about trying to clone the show: Don’t. “The wrong lesson to take from this show’s success would be to have 'Heated Rivalry' in baseball or 'Heated Rivalry' in football,” he says. Bloys snapped up U.S. rights to the Crave drama late last year because it “was something fresh that people hadn’t seen before.” But now that 11.5 million U.S. viewers (and counting) have experienced it, he argues that rushing to put on a slew of other sports romances would be a mistake. “It can’t be replicated,” he adds.
