On September 30, which is also Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams from Heated Rivalry met up with their team at the Kate Spade New York Global Summit aimed at Women's Mental Health. They wore orange ribbon pins to mark the occasion. Storrie, styled by James Yardley, donned a tobacco-brown cashmere sweater along with pieces from Saint Laurent, while Williams wore the popular Journey cardigan by Justin Jacob Louis, paired with tailored trousers and accessories. This gathering happened during a break from filming the second season of Heated Rivalry, slated for a spring 2027 release. The summit included discussions with author Reid, creator Jacob Tierney, and cast members about the Irina Foundation. Storrie will also appear in A24's Peaked and Zobel’s Turpentine, while Williams has roles in YAGA and Netflix’s The Altruists.
