Calling all Heated Rivalry fans! There's a new star-studded comedy drama on the way, and fans of the hit hockey romance will be pleased to know Connor Storrie is in talks to join the cast, according to Deadline.

From production company A24, Peaked is set to begin filming this month and follows two women who "relive their glory days" at a school reunion.

The movie is directed by actress Molly Gordon (Booksmart, The Bear), who will also star in the film. Molly wrote the script alongside Allie Levitan, with the pair producing alongside David Hinojosa and Zach Nutman.

It's been a whirlwind few months for Connor, whose performance as Ilya Rozannov on Heated Rivalry alongside co-star Hudson Williams shot him to international fame. After popping up at the Golden Globes, Milan Fashion Week and even carrying the Winter Olympic torch on the streets of Feltre, Italy, it seems Connor is now setting his sights on a new on-screen project – and we can't wait to see it.
