Bell Media bets Heated Rivalry to spark a global push for Canadian drama

Bell Media chief Sean Cohan says the hit Heated Rivalry is catalyzing a new wave of Canadian drama, fueling Crave subscriber growth and a “re‑heating” binge phenomenon while Bell plans more in‑house projects (including Yaga, Slo Pitch, Beer, Lesbians and Baseball!) to take Canadian storytelling global, even though Heated Rivalry isn’t Emmy eligible.
