Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie showed off more than his acting skills in the new short film Look Behind You, directed by Nia DaCosta for technology company Verizon.
Storrie stars in the four and a half minute thriller-style short set at a secluded cabin, experiencing a series of scares – all while wearing an extremely flattering pair of skinny blue jeans.
The scares include loud music, a house alarm, power outages, ringing phones, and mysterious knocks, building tension bigger than what his trousers could hold throughout the short.

Storrie answers the mystery knocker, only to reveal that the shadowy figure at the front door is just a rideshare driver. The spooks were caused by Storrie’s “butt dials” while moving around the house.
The film ends with a humorous tagline: “The Best Butt. The Best Network. There’s No Escape,” and with Heated Rivalry series 2 scheduled to start production August 2026, we couldn’t agree more.
Hudson Williams clearly agrees, commenting under the post: “The screenshots are going in my folder”, followed by a tongue emoji.
Storrie’s backside has become a talking point among fans since he took on the role of Ilya Rozanov in Jacob Tierney‘s gay hockey romance series.
What can viewers expect from Heated Rivalry series 2?
Featuring several intimate sex scenes with on-screen lover Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams), Storrie has fully embraced his viral rear.
Connor is set to reprise his role in Heated Rivalry series 2, continuing to follow Ilya’s and Shane Hollander’s love story roughly ten years into their relationship.
Modelled on author Rachel Reid’s book The Long Game, the second series has been confirmed to stream on Sky and NOW in the UK dropping April 2027.
Alongside the original cast, including François Arnaud and Robbie Graham-Kuntz, Heated Rivalry series 2 is reportedly casting for eight new characters.
