From bartenders to icons<\/em>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Heated Rivalry<\/em> premiered on 28 November on HBO Max, it looked like a niche project, an adaptation of a series of romantic novels about two professional ice hockey players who keep their relationship secret. Within weeks it became an international phenomenon, ranking among the most watched series in the United States and Australia. One episode came close to a perfect 9.9 rating on IMDb, and critics began to describe it as one of the key titles of the new wave of queer television, with The New York Times<\/em> calling it \u201cthe next frontier of gay culture\u201d<\/strong>. In Spain it arrives this Thursday, 5 February, on Movistar Plus+ under the title ‘M\u00e1s que rivales<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the show\u2019s success cannot be understood without its stars. Connor Storrie<\/a><\/strong> and Hudson Williams<\/a><\/strong> went from being virtually unknown actors, with small roles and bar jobs to pay the rent, to becoming two of the most talked-about faces of the moment. Their real breakthrough came at the Golden Globes<\/strong>, where, despite not being nominated, they stole the spotlight by presenting an award and joking about the show\u2019s nude scenes in front of millions of viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
