The SNL gig is one of many high profile appearances the lead stars of the Canadian queer show have lined up since its release.

Connor and his co-star Hudson Williams recently served as torchbearers for the upcoming Milano Cortina Olympic tournament.

The Winter Olympics will kick off in Italy February 6, while Connor and Hudson carried its ceremonial flame through the country’s town of Feltre on January 25.

Notably, Heated Rivalry has already been renewed for a second season, while Connor Storrie vaguely teased the start of its production.

“I think Jacob’s still writing it,” he said during a recent appearance on Today, referencing the show’s creator, Jacob Tierney.

“I think we’re going to be filming, I don’t know when, exactly.”
