"Heated Rivalry" creator Jacob Tierney is urging viewers not to show up at Season 2 filming locations as production gets underway. After the series gained a much larger audience, Tierney said the cast and crew need room to do their jobs without disruption.
That marks a very different situation from the show’s first season. According to the report, fans were not an issue during Season 1 because the Canadian romance series was still relatively unknown before it later broke out on HBO Max.
Now that "Heated Rivalry" has built a strong following, interest in the production has grown along with it. Tierney’s message appears aimed at preventing crowds from gathering at shooting sites and helping the set remain a workable environment for everyone involved.
The update highlights how quickly the show’s profile has changed since its debut. What began as a lesser-known project is now popular enough that the team behind Season 2 is asking fans to support the series by keeping a respectful distance during filming.
