Kutryk had mixed feelings about season 2 filming 'Heated rivalry'
Michael Kutryk, who owns the Lake Muskoka cottage featured in the series Heated Rivalry, opened up about his mixed feelings on letting the show film season two.
He admitted he was caught off guard by a 45-person crew during season one and needed some "a little bit of soul searching about allowing them to come back" before saying yes to another round.
'Heated Rivalry' exposure leaves rentals uncertain
Kutryk built the cottage as his own getaway, so hosting a TV crew was a big shift, especially with an outdoor kitchen and porta-potties popping up.
Even though the show had a tight budget, he agreed to let them film for two midweek days.
Since season one aired in December 2025, his place has gotten way more attention, and Kutryk isn't sure if he'll rent it out again.
season two drops April 2027 and will keep following Shane and Ilya's on-ice rivalry turned romance.
