The Lede

Prime Example Crave’s HEATED RIVALRY continues to skate rings around the world and make friends in high places! Just yesterday, star Hudson Williams, who plays Shane Hollander, met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the red carpet at a media conference in Ottawa. They posed for a series of photos, answered questions, and Williams presented Carney with the beloved white fleece that Shane wore in the series, at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Speaking of that white fleece, it’s now going on sale for real, as the show’s production company, Accent Aigu Entertainment, has teamed up with Canadian-owned clothing brand Province of Canada to produce and distribute the jacket. For wardrobe tips and much more, every episode of HEATED RIVALRY is on Crave.

Mutiny Leads to Bounty The fourth season of THE TRAITORS US continued last night on Crave with an explosive new episode that will not soon be forgotten. Having been described as “undoubtedly the watercooler show of the 2020s,” there are many different international versions of the franchise, including THE TRAITORS CANADA. But in a fascinating interview, the Dutch TV executive who came up with the concept revealed his inspiration: a Dutch ship called the Batavia that wrecked off the coast of Australia in 1628! The real-life maritime horror saw the crew split into rival factions. In fact, the show was originally supposed to be set on a ship, and called “The Mutineers.” Apparently deceit is deceit, whether it’s on the water or in a mansion.
