HBO Max U.S. and Australia, and NEON (Sky New Zealand) have signed on for the season two streaming rights.<\/p>\n<p>The series was created by Jacob Tierney and is based on the book series Game Changers by Rachel Reid. The six-episode, one-hour romantic drama tells the story of rival hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, played by Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWatching our show become an international phenomenon has been extraordinary,\u201d said Tierney and executive producer Brendan Brady. \u201cWe\u2019re profoundly grateful to everyone that has been on this journey with us.
