Crave’s Heated Rivalry returns for Season 2 with creator Jacob Tierney promising a shift to a darker, more serious tone drawn from Rachel Reid’s The Long Game; set ten years after the first book, the couple Shane and Ilya navigate a more mature, danger-filled relationship with continued flirting and sex, and Tierney suggests there’s enough material to potentially split Season 2 into two installments.
