Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams land new roles after Heated Rivalry success

Heated Rivalry has been one of the biggest shows of the moment, with fans keen to see what roles breakout stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams will take next in their acting career.

Storrie and Williams gained attention for their portrayal of ice hockey stars, Ilya Rosanov and Shane Hollander, as the sporting rivals engage in a secret, years-long relationship in the gay hockey romance by Crave, based on Rachel Reid’s critically acclaimed Game Changers book series.

From presenting at the Golden Globes to attending fashion shows, making their late-night talk show debuts, and being Olympic torch bearers, both actors have been catapulted into fame.

We know that the pair will be returning for Season 2 of Heated Rivalry, which is anticipated to be released in Spring 2027. But until then, everyone is curious to see what other roles they will take on.

Here's what we know so far:

Hudson Williams

Canadian-born Williams is working with Crave once more; this time, he will star in the half-hour drama series Yaga, which is based on the myth of Baba Yaga, a female character from Slavic folklore who is depicted as a witch.

The 25-year-old will star alongside Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix), Noah Reid (Schitt’s Creek), and Clark Backo (Letterkenny) in the eight-episode series based on an adaptation of a play by Kat Sandler, who will serve as writer and showrunner.

According to the plot synopsis, the story follows Rapp (Noah Reid), a private investigator who arrives in a small coastal town to investigate the disappearance of a young heir to a powerful fishery, Henry Park (Hudson Williams). He finds himself at odds with an apprehensive local detective, Carson (Clark Backo), a charismatic university professor with a taste for younger men, Katherine (Carrie-Anne Moss), and a labyrinth of enigmatic suspects, secret lives, and ancient magic.

Back in November, Williams also revealed that he's set to appear in Netflix's upcoming limited series The Altruists, where he will play Duncan Rheingans-Yoo, starring alongside Julia Garner and Anthony Boyle.

"The series tells the story of Sam Bankman-Fried (Anthony Boyle) and Caroline Ellison (Julia Garner), two hyper-smart, ambitious young idealists who tried to remake the global financial system in the blink of an eye...before they were accused of stealing $8 billion," according to the streamer's synopsis.

Most recently, it was announced that Williams will be acting in a dark comedy thriller Apparatus, starring alongside Dylan O'Brien.

According to Deadline, "Apparatus follows struggling young rideshare driver Tyler (Williams) as he falls under the influence of a self-styled entrepreneur, JP (O’Brien), who offers him a future in his handheld-massager business. But what appears to be a dream opportunity unravels as JP pulls Tyler into a violent downward spiral."

Connor Storrie

It has been reported that Storries is in talks to join the cast of A24's upcoming comedy Peaked.

The cast includes Molly Gordon, Allie Levitan, Emma Mackey, Laura Dern, Simone Ashley, Levon Hawke, Mitra Jouhari, and Gabby Windey, with Gordon and Levitan executive-producing, Deadline reported.

Storrie's potential role in the film hasn't been shared, and production on the project is set to start this month.

The story follows "the two girls who traumatized you in high school as they try to relive their glory days at their 10-year reunion," according to the plot synopsis.

It appears he will also star in an episode of Criminal Minds, after actor Yvette Nicole Brown shared a snap of them together at the Golden Globes and appeared to confirm his upcoming appearance.

"We're gonna be in an episode of Criminal Minds together soon, too! That's how we met!" she wrote, replying to a fan in the comments section.

Storrie made his Saturday Night Live hosting debut on February 28, where he was joined by musical guest Mumford & Sons.
