Still from Heated Rivalry
The Canadian series Heated Rivalry has built a strong fan base in India. While the show was released globally last year, it did not initially secure a streaming platform in the country. Fans have been eagerly waiting for an Indian platform to acquire the rights, and the wait is now almost over, with Lionsgate Play stepping in. The first season of Heated Rivalry which has six epsiodes will stream soon on the platform.
The series has been a massive global hit and is widely discussed on social media. It premiered on Crave in Canada and HBO Max in the USA in late 2025. However, licensing issues kept it away from Indian streaming platforms until now. According to a report by OTTPlat, the show`s India release has been locked for February 20 on Lionsgate Play. You can buy a subscription to the platform as an add-on to your Prime Video.
