Heated Rivalry is heading to the Olympics.
Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, who play hockey rivals to lovers Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander on the hit series, will be among the torchbearers for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy.
The Olympic torch relay begins in Greece, where the first Olympics took place, and makes its way to the host city. The torch is currently in Trieste, Italy, and will visit 13 more cities in the country before the opening ceremony in Milan on Feb. 6.
No word yet on where or when Storrie and Williams will be picking up the torch.
In the show’s second episode, titled “Olympians,” their characters compete in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Season 1 of the steamy romance is available on HBO Max in the U.S., and the show has already scored a season 2 renewal.

Get the limo out front, because the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary official trailer has arrived.
Disney+ and Hulu have shared the official trailer for the anniversary special, which is set to debut on March 24 — 20 years to the day that the original series premiered on the Disney Channel in 2006.
The trailer starts with Miley Cyrus pulling up to a Disney soundstage wearing her signature blonde Hannah Montana wig.
“Good to be home,” she says as the show’s iconic theme song, “The Best of Both Worlds,” begins to play.
We see clips of Cyrus on stage performing as Hannah, visiting recreations of the sitcom’s sets and being interviewed by Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper.
“What Disney boy did you have the biggest crush on at the time?” Cooper asks, to which Cyrus responds, “Get the tea kettle.”
The trailer also includes a snippet of Cyrus performing “The Climb” while in costume as Hannah. During the emotional song, we see Cyrus interact with her mom and dad, Tish Cyrus-Purcell and Billy Ray Cyrus.
“I love being Hannah. I love being Miley Cyrus. You really taught me how to be who I am,” Cyrus tells her mom. Later, we see her hug her father on the set of the Stewart family’s living room.
“Love you,” she tells him, before he responds, “Best of both worlds.”
“Hannah Montana will always be a part of who I am. What started as a TV show became a shared experience that shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I’ll always be thankful for that connection,” Cyrus said in a press release back in February.
“The fact that it still means so much to people all these years later is something I’m very proud of.”

The boy who lived, for a brand-new era.
HBO has released the official teaser trailer for the first season of its upcoming Harry Potter series. It is officially titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the network announced.
Additionally, HBO has set the season to premiere Christmas Day on HBO Max.
“There is nothing special about Harry Potter – at least that’s what his Aunt Petunia always says. On his 11th birthday, a letter of admittance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens up a hidden world for Harry: one of fun, friendship and magic,” its official logline reads. “But with this new adventure comes great risk as Harry is forced to face a dangerous enemy from his past.”
Dominic McLaughlin leads the cast as Harry Potter, alongside Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton, who play Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
“I’ve always wanted to know about my parents,” McLaughlin says as Harry in the trailer.
We then see Nick Frost as Hagrid, who says to him, “Your parents were the kindest, bravest people I ever met. They were funny and clever, and they stood up for what they believed was right. And the next time I see you will be in Hogwarts.”
The rest of the trailer finds Harry getting onto the Hogwarts Express and arriving at the wizarding school. We see glimpses of the great hall, the quidditch pitch, the sorting hat and other classic moments from the first Harry Potter book.
“Are you really Harry Potter?” Stout’s Ron asks Harry in the trailer’s last moments. When the boy who lived confirms so, Ron makes an explosion noise and accompanying hand movement on his own forehead, in the infamous spot where Harry’s lightning bolt scar resides.
The show is described as a faithful adaptation of the books by J.K. Rowling, who serves as an executive producer on the series.
