The dramatic cliffhanger left by Heated Rivalry episode 4 is about to be resolved, as the next instalment of the hit series is set to drop imminently. Fans are desperate to know if Shane will stay with actress Rose Landry or rekindle his intense connection with Ilya.
Global Release Schedule For Episode 5
Heated Rivalry episode 5, titled 'I'll Believe in Anything', will premiere internationally on Friday, December 19th. As with previous episodes, the launch will be synchronised to 12:00 AM Pacific Time (PT) on both HBO Max in the US and Crave in Canada.
This means viewers in other time zones can calculate their local release time based on that benchmark. For example, audiences on the US East Coast can expect the episode at 3:00 AM Eastern Time (ET).

UK Fans Face A Significant Delay
While the global release is set for December 19th, viewers in the United Kingdom will have to wait considerably longer. It has been confirmed that the series has been acquired by Sky and its streaming service, Now.
Heated Rivalry will begin streaming for UK audiences on January 10th. It is currently unclear whether all episodes will be available at once or if they will be released on a weekly schedule, similar to the US and Canadian rollout.
This news will be disappointing for British fans eager to follow the unfolding drama between Shane and Ilya without encountering spoilers online.
Full Season 1 Release Schedule
The first season of Heated Rivalry follows a weekly release pattern. The first two episodes debuted together on November 28th, with subsequent episodes airing each Friday. The full schedule is as follows:
- Episode 1: Rookies - November 28th
- Episode 2: Olympians - November 28th
- Episode 3: Hunter - December 5th
- Episode 4: Rose - December 12th
- Episode 5: I'll Believe in Anything - December 19th
- Episode 6: The Cottage - December 26th
With the season finale airing just after Christmas, the fate of the show's central relationships will soon be revealed. UK-based fans are advised to mark January 10th in their calendars and prepare for a binge-watch or a weekly treat, depending on Sky's final release strategy.
