Hudson Williams (Jump, Off Objective) and Connor Storrie (Riley, Joker: Folie à Deux), the stars of Heated Rivalry, will present at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The two actors have been confirmed as presenters at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, scheduled for January 11.

Their inclusion as presenters reflects the series’ growing visibility during the current awards season. Williams and Storrie star as Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry, rival professional hockey players whose fierce on-ice competition develops into a complex personal relationship. Since its debut, the series has drawn attention for its character-driven narrative and central performances, helping raise its profile within scripted television.

The Golden Globe appearance builds on the show’s additional recognition during awards season. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Francois Arnaud (The Borgias, Yellowjackets), a co-star of Heated Rivalry, previously presented at the Critics’ Choice Awards, drawing further industry attention to the cast and series. The show’s recurring presence at major ceremonies highlights its expanding popularity.

Heated Rivalry is directed by Jacob Tierney (Letterkenny, Preggoland), whose grounded, character-focused approach has played a key role in shaping the series’ tone and reception. Tierney’s direction emphasizes performance and interpersonal dynamics, elements central to the show’s appeal and critical reception. His work has contributed to strong engagement from both audiences and industry observers.

Williams and Storrie’s participation in the Golden Globes comes at a notable moment for the series. Following a strong debut and a well-received finale, Heated Rivalry secured a second-season renewal, signaling continued confidence in the show’s creative direction and its ability to sustain audience interest. The renewal further strengthens the series’s place within scripted television.
