Posted 2 minutes ago

Heated Rivalry is currently filming its highly anticipated Season 2 in Toronto, which means paparazzi shots of Hudson Williams making this random item sell out in Canada, fan predictions, and even...new cast member announcements — like Justice Smith and Charlie Gillespie. But guys, there's more!

Just today, they added FIVE more cast members to the show, including Schitt's Creek's Emily Hampshire.

But the hot topic we're discussing today is...Robert Naylor! So let's get to know him!

1. Who is Robert Naylor playing in Season 2?

Robert Naylor is playing Wyatt Hayes, a starting goaltender for the Ottawa Centaurs, in the new season.

2. Where is he from?

Just like the show (and this writer), he is from Canada. Born in Quebec, to be specific — making him fluent in both English and French!

3. How old is he?

He was born on July 6, 1996, making him 30 years old.

4. What other projects has he done?

Although he's been acting since he was a kid, he's known for playing Young Theseus in The Immortals, as well as playing Hugo Cōté in the 2025 film Mile End Kicks.

5. What is his Zodiac signs?

Being an early July baby, Rob is a Cancer — which, according to the internet, means he experiences deep feelings, has a strong protective shell, and exudes a caregiving heart.

6. And we have to know: Is he single?

I've sleuthed and I've searched, but it turns out he's very private about his personal life. Which is honestly kind of a flex. Adds to the mystery. So, he could be single...or fully married. We truly know nothing.

7. Any fun facts about him?

Robert Naylor was actually the voice of DW in Arthur from 2007–2011. You know, Arthur's sister? Yeah, that was Rob.

You can follow him on Instagram: @rob_naylor.

9. And lastly: When does Season 2 of Heated Rivalry come out?

They are filming in Toronto as we speak, so we have a little way to go until it's ready for us fans to see it. But it's expected to premiere in spring 2027.

If you need more info on where to find it — Heated Rivalry is on Crave in Canada and HBO Max in the U.S. and Australia.
