I&#8217;m not hiding anything,&#8221; Tierney said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He added the upcoming season will focus on Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov&#8217;s relationship, played by Hudson Williams and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/snl-usa-hockey-stars-heated-rivalry-connor-storrie\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Connor Storrie<\/a><\/span>. Tierney said it will be largely based on &#8220;The Long Game,&#8221; the sixth installment of Rachel Reid&#8217;s &#8220;Game Changers&#8221; hockey romance series.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My north star in this show, because there are a lot of books in this series, is I&#8217;m focusing on Shane and Ilya and we are tracking this relationship. There are new couples and characters that intersect with them. It&#8217;s a much more expanded universe. It&#8217;s a bigger show in that way,&#8221; Tierney said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He added the second season will explore what Shane and Ilya do after &#8220;they get their quiet happiness at the end of Season 1&#8221; and how it &#8220;translates into the rest of their lives.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Using intimacy as a storytelling tool in &#8220;Heated Rivalry&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Tierney is giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at creating the series in his new book, &#8220;I&#8217;ll Believe in Anything: The Making of Heated Rivalry Season 1.&#8221; Among the most talked-about parts of the series are the steamy sex scenes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wanted to make sure that the sex was telling a story, that we&#8217;re learning things about these characters through the way that they relate to each other sexually,&#8221; Tierney said, adding he &#8220;didn&#8217;t want it to feel gratuitous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was happy to make a show that was steamy, that was sexy, that was great. I think that&#8217;s fun. But I really wanted to make sure that we were tracking this relationship through some of those more physical and intimate moments because it&#8217;s about two guys that don&#8217;t speak to each other,&#8221; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The creator and executive producer said viewers watch Shane and Ilya have a physical relationship in the first half of the season that &#8220;accumulates into a meaning for them that is very, very important and they just can&#8217;t express that.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Music selection in the series<\/h2>\n<p>In his new book, Tierney also revealed he centered episode five in the first season around the song &#8220;I&#8217;ll Believe in Anything&#8221; by Wolf Parade. Tierney told &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; that he fell in love with Wolf Parade when he was in his early 20s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the music you fall in love with when you are young is music that means so much to you,&#8221; Tierney said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said he looks for songs that he believes are powerful and should&#8217;ve been a big hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are songs that have an enormous amount of meaning to me. In my head I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Why isn&#8217;t this a No. 1 hit?'&#8221; Tierney said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\"
