Daniel Diemer and Shaheen Jafargholi have joined the cast of “Heated Rivalry” Season 2. They will play Ryan Price and Fabian Salah, respectively.

Though Crave and HBO Max did not provide official character descriptions, Ryan and Fabian are the main couple followed in the third book of Rachel Reid’s “Game Changers” series, titled “Tough Guy.” (“Heated Rivalry” Season 2, however, is based on the sixth book, 2022’s “The Long Game.”) In the books, Ryan is a frequently traded Canadian player in the National Hockey League who struggles with anxiety and body image issues, while Fabian is a Lebanese Canadian indie musician who is openly gay.
