Heated Rivalry’s Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams Making a Play for More Money Ahead of New Season
The breakout stars of HBO Max’s Heated Rivalry — Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams — reportedly earned around $80,000 each for the first season of the hockey hit. But sources tell Straight Shuter the two studs are making a play for more dough — even though the cast signed three-season deals.
“The show performed way beyond expectations,” one production insider tells Straight Shuter. “When the audience grows that quickly, the stars start realizing their value just grew, too.”
Another source adds, “The contracts technically cover three seasons, but everyone knows success changes the math.”
A streaming executive explains, “Studios hate reopening deals early. But when a show becomes a breakout, sometimes it’s cheaper to pay up than risk losing your stars.”
