Dylan Walsh Pauses Cameo After Spilling Heated Rivalry Season 2 Details
Actor Dylan Walsh has paused his Cameo account — the platform where fans pay celebrities for personalised video messages — after a clip he recorded for a fan "got me in trouble."
Walsh, who plays David Hollander in the Crave Original series Heated Rivalry, told a Cameo customer that he was "getting ready to go back up to Canada and shoot some more episodes" and added, "I think we're doing 12 this time," Deadline reported. The show's first season ran six episodes, so the jump to twelve is notable on its own. But the bigger issue for the production was that the video circulated on X, where fans began speculating that Seasons 2 and 3 would film back to back — a detail no one had officially confirmed.
Walsh briefly explained the situation on his Cameo profile page, writing that he was "stepping away because a video went viral that got me in trouble," according to Entertainment Weekly, as cited by Deadline. His profile on the platform, tagged with the Heated Rivalry title, is currently listed among NBC TV actors on Cameo's browse page.
The spill is awkward timing for the production. Season 2 of Heated Rivalry began filming in Canada in August 2026, with Justice Smith and Charlie Gillespie joining the cast as leads, Deadline reported. The season is set to premiere in spring 2027.
For context on the new castings: the series adapts Rachel Reid's Game Changer book series. In Role Model, the fifth book, Gillespie's character Troy Barrett is a hockey player on Ilya's team with a history of bullying, while Smith's character Harris Drover is the team's cheerful social media manager, Deadline reported.
For fans, the real takeaway is twofold. Twelve episodes doubles the first season's order, and the back-to-back filming speculation — unconfirmed as it remains — suggests the production may be planning well beyond a single return season. Neither Crave nor the production has publicly confirmed a Season 3.
What makes this stand out is how the leak happened. Cameo messages are meant to be private, one-to-one fan interactions. When one surfaces publicly and contains production details a streaming platform has not released, the gap between a casual video greeting and a spoiler headline closes fast.
