'Heated Rivalry' star explains BTS photo that sent fans into frenzy

Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova has revealed how the Heated Rivalry cast’s club photo came to be.

The photo included Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Sophie Nélisse and Ksenia. Fans were left in a frenzy, expecting the four characters to meet in episode four of the show.

However, when the episode aired, Ksenia's Svetlana wasn’t in the scene, leaving fans wondering why.

Now, the actress is explaining how the photo happened despite her not filming at that club.

"It was a two story club. So, one of the stories was the European club and then the other story was the North America clubs," Ksenia explained to The Permanent Rain Press.

She continued, "We were actually, our characters were never supposed to meet, but the stills photographer was like, 'Oh, you guys all look so good and whatever.' So, we took the picture and I remember seeing it, and I was like, 'Oh, this is so cheeky,' because we never meet. It would have been a cool scene though with all four of them."

She added, "Maybe in season two they can all meet!"

This comes after series creator Jacob Tierney revealed when fans can expect to see season 2 of the HBO show.

"It will not be same time next year, but it'll be pretty soon after that. It's not gonna be two years. It's not even gonna be 18 months, I don't think. So we're gonna go as fast as we can, while ensuring that we're doing as good a job as we possibly can," he told Entertainment Weekly.

Heated Rivalry is streaming on HBO Max.
