(SPOILER ALERT) You won’t have to leave the cottage anytime soon. Heated Rivalry author Rachel Reid has announced that the seventh book in her Game Changers hockey romance series is coming this fall.
The book, titled Unrivaled, will be the third book focusing on Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov — the characters played by Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie in the popular Heated Rivalry TV adaptation on HBO Max.
Unrivaled picks up where Heated Rivalry’s sequel The Long Game left off, with — spoiler alert — Shane and Ilya playing on the same hockey team as a married couple. According to the book’s description, they’ll have to face growing backlash to their relationship now that they’ve gone public.
Unrivaled is available for preorder now and is set for a Sept. 29 release.
Meanwhile, the show’s stars continue to rise. Williams and Storrie presented at the Golden Globes Sunday night; Storrie is booked for appearances on Late Night with Seth Meyers Monday and the Today show on Wednesday.
Heated Rivalry has been picked up for a second season, which will follow the events of The Long Game.

Catherine O’Hara’s cause of death has been revealed.
The actress died of a pulmonary embolism, according to her death certificate, released Monday by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Rectal cancer is listed on the certificate as the underlying cause of death.
A pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in a lung artery that occurs as a result of a blood clot traveling to the lungs, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
The 71-year-old actress had not publicly revealed any health struggles.
O’Hara’s manager first confirmed news of her death on Friday, Jan. 30.
The Los Angeles Fire Department told ABC News it received a call for medical aid earlier that day at 4:48 a.m. at an address connected to O’Hara. She was transported to a hospital in serious condition at that time, according to the LAFD.
O’Hara’s vast and prolific acting career included more than 100 roles across TV and film. She recently scored accolades for her role in the comedy series Schitt’s Creek as Moira Rose, a grandiose actress who is blissfully detached from reality. At the time of her death, she was starring in the award-winning Apple series The Studio.
Her portrayal of Moira in Schitt’s Creek — which also starred Eugene Levy, Dan Levy and Annie Murphy — earned her a Primetime Emmy Award in 2020, as well as a Golden Globe in 2021.
As news of O’Hara’s death spread, tributes for the late actress poured in from across the world of entertainment.
Dan Levy paid tribute to O’Hara in an Instagram post, writing, “What a gift to have gotten to dance in the warm glow of Catherine O’Hara’s brilliance for all those years.”
“Having spent over fifty years collaborating with my Dad, Catherine was extended family before she ever played my family,” he continued. “It’s hard to imagine a world without her in it. I will cherish every funny memory I was fortunate enough to make with her.”
The cast and crew of The Studio, the Apple TV series on which O’Hara starred opposite Seth Rogen, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, Kathryn Hahn and more, also paid tribute to the acclaimed actress in the wake of her death. A rep for Rogen shared a statement on the show’s behalf, which read, “We are at a loss for words at the passing of our friend Catherine O’Hara.”
“She was a hero to all of us, and we pinched ourselves every day that we got to work with her on The Studio,” the statement continued. “She was somehow classy, warm, and hilarious all at the same time. We’re unbelievably saddened she is gone and send our deepest sympathy to [her husband] Bo and all her family.”
O’Hara is survived by her husband, Bo Welch, and sons, Matthew Welch and Luke Welch.
Netflix has shared a brand-new interview with the late Eric Dane.
The streaming platform has released Dane’s final interview before his death, which is part of the posthumous interview series Famous Last Words.
Dane died Thursday at age 53, almost 10 months after revealing his ALS diagnosis in April 2025.
According to Netflix, Famous Last Words “gives audiences around the world the opportunity to hear from a cultural icon after they’ve passed away. The intimate, in-depth interviews were recorded with the understanding that they were to be kept secret and only aired posthumously.”
Dane’s episode was filmed last November. He was interviewed by Emmy winner Brad Falchuk.
“Eric and I were the same age when we discussed his life and legacy, so the conversation felt uniquely moving and personal,” Falchuk said in a press release. “There was no self-pity in Eric. He refused to complain. He was brave, soulful, charming, joyful, grateful, and hilarious — and when he flashed that smile, he was undeniably still a leading man. His final words at the end of the episode are truly beautiful. I will miss him.”
The streaming service has announced new release dates and first-look photos for the shows and films coming to the platform over the course of this year.
Outer Banks, The Gentlemen, Black Doves and The Hunting Wives are all set to return in 2026, along with the fifth and final season of The Witcher, season 3 of Nobody Wants This and season 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Also returning are the ladies of Sweet Magnolias. Season 5 is set to debut on June 11. Netflix released a first-look photo of the titular Magnolias, and it finds them in New York City’s Central Park.
Virgin River is also coming back for season 7 this year. The new season of the romantic drama series is set to premiere on March 12. A new photo from the upcoming season of the show was released, showing off the show’s leads Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson.
Millie Bobby Brown returns in Enola Holmes 3. Netflix has shared a first-look photo of her in character as the titular sleuth. The photo also features Louis Partridge‘s Tewkesbury bending down on one knee to present Brown’s Enola with a flower. The film, which arrives to the platform this summer, follows an adventure in Malta where Enola’s “personal and professional dreams collide.”
Additionally, HeartstopperForever, the film finale of the popular series, also debuts in 2026. It finds JoeLocke and Kit Connor‘s Charlie and Nick dealing with the reality of a long-distance relationship. “Doubts take hold, and their relationship faces its biggest challenge yet,” according to its logline. “Meanwhile, their friends are also navigating the ups and downs of love and friendship, confronting the bittersweet challenges of growing up and moving on. Can first loves really last forever?”
