this admin is constantly torn between being happy about how simple they’ve made it for us by clipping all these little moments from this interview so we can share them and annoyed at how we still don’t have access to this interview in full 🫠

Jacob Tierney on how extraordinary “Heated Rivalry” fans are, and how they notice every detail in the show and have pointed things out to him that he didn’t even realize he had done both purposefully and not. 🎥: SkyTV via Instagram

Heated Rivalry News & Updates
Heated Rivalry News & Updates@heatedrivalnews·
Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade talks about their current ‘moment in the zeitgeist’ and the ‘extremely flattering’ licensing pitch Jacob Tierney sent the band when requesting their song for Heated Rivalry: ‘Boeckner said over the years the band has received requests for their songs to be licensed in everything from commercials to movies and noted that many requests are similar. “They essentially want something to soundtrack content,” he said. Boeckner said Jacob Tierney, the creator of the “Heated Rivalry” television series, personally sent the band a message, explaining how he wanted to use the song in the series. Snippets of “I’ll Believe in Anything” are heard throughout the show during scenes showing Kip and Scott’s relationship. “This pitch that Jacob sent us, he made it very clear that the lyrical content of the song and the musical movement of the song were mirrored by the television show,” he said. “I thought it was extremely flattering and clever how he worked in the build of the song into the build of the show by dropping little bits of it. “And then at this climactic scene, I just thought it was a perfect mix of, like, cinematography, writing and him choosing the right parts of that song to deploy. So, there was really no way we could say no to it. I never had anybody ask to license a song and be so thoughtful about it.” Since the episode aired in December, the song’s popularity has exploded. Twenty-one years after it was first released on their album “Apologies to the Queen Mary,” the song peaked at four on Billboard’s U.S. Alternative Digital Song Sales chart and at seven on Billboard’s Rock Digital Song Sales. According to Billboard, global streams of the song rose more than 2,000 per cent since the episode aired. The popularity of the song prompted Sub Pop, Wolf Parade’s label, to reissue “Apologies to the Queen Mary” on pink vinyl, years after the album was last in print. According to the most recent Spotify data, it is Wolf Parade’s most popular song on the service, with more than 52 million streams as of March 26, 2026. “As a musician, I don’t think there’s anything better you can ask for, really, than to have like a moment in the zeitgeist but also (a moment) that reinforces the value of your career,” Boeckner said. 🔗 article: ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/artic… 🔗 vinyl reissue: megamart.subpop.com//products/wolf…

#HeatedRivalry was "supposed to be made with a U.S. platform," but the creator "didn’t have the freedom he wanted." "For example, [they wanted] to have the first explicit scene only in episode five to tone down the romance,” says Julie Roy, executive director & CEO at Téléfilm Canada. “He decided to go back to Canada, and kudos to Crave who had the courage to welcome the full project. For me, that’s a great example of not being Hollywood and being authentic. Authenticity is something that really works.” variety.com/2026/tv/global…

In the past year, LGBTQ-inclusive series like “Heated Rivalry,” “Stranger Things,” “Yellowjackets,” “The Gilded Age” and many more have been among the most watched and talked-about series on television. Audiences have interest, and companies dependent on subscriber growth are not paying close enough attention. This disconnect is a costly one, according to new data from @GLAAD.

@jtierneyupdates Deleted scenes ≠ director’s cut with Jacob writing, directing, and show-running, ofc each ep is already the director’s cut. ... but i’d still love to see any extended/deleted scenes, so I’m holding out hope for a BluRay box set with special features, like it’s 2016. 🤞🤞🤞

In an editorial for @cultmtl, @ToulasTake shares how Jacob Tierney created a love letter to Montréal in “Heated Rivalry” and it’s success is a clear demonstration that artists, not politicians, are the ones “who inspire love for and interest in a place’s culture and language.”
