‘Heated Rivalry’ Actor Dylan Walsh ‘in Trouble’ After Saying on Cameo That 12 New Episodes Are Being Shot: I’m ‘Stepping Away’ From the Platform

“Heated Rivalry” actor Dylan Walsh has found himself on thin ice after leaking details about upcoming episodes in a video clip that has gone viral. Walsh, who plays David Hollander on the hit hockey romance, recently paused his account on the celebrity video app Cameo after he got “in trouble” – in his words – for over-sharing in a clip about the upcoming second season of the series, which just began filming. “Getting ready to go back up to Canada and shoot some more episodes… so, I think we’re doing 12 this time,” Walsh says in a clip, posted on X, taken from a video recorded for a fan on Cameo. Popular on Variety As creator Jacob Tierney has said that he doesn’t want to make more than six episodes per season, Walsh’s comment possibly implies that the production is filming Season 2 and Season 3 together, or that Season 2 would be split in half, according to some fans. “I don’t need to do 10 [episodes in a season],” Tierney told the Los Angeles Times in February. “I would always rather tighten the belt than get loosey-goosey. I would rather be like, ‘Let’s see how much story we can pack into these episodes.’” According to Entertainment Week, a note on Walsh’s Cameo account stated that it’s unavailable for personalized videos until August 2027, and the actor posted a message under his profile on the app that said, “Stepping away because a video went viral that got me in trouble.” As EW notes, Walsh’s slipup could prove ironic as Rachel Reid’s novel “The Long Game,” from which the second season is adapted, includes a plot point around a video going viral on a Cameo-like app. The show follows two rival professional ice hockey players, Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), who are in a secret relationship. Walsh plays Shane’s dad, who learns of their love affair when he walks in on them kissing in the Season 1 finale. Season 2 is expected to premiere in the spring of 2027.
