Heated Rivalry, the steamy hockey romance show, was made for about $2 million per episode. That is remarkably cheap for an hour-long drama.
Today on the show, a conversation with
Heated Rivalry creators Jacob Tierney and Brendan Brady about their television miracle on ice.
It’s not just that the show was made efficiently and cleverly.
Heated Rivalry comes from a Canadian economic system of making TV and movies that is completely different from how we do things in the US.
In this episode of
Planet Money, in partnership with the
Pivot podcast co-hosted by Kara Swisher, we hear about a Canadian production model for making TV and movies and how it’s different from the U.S. model. And we learn what the experience of making
Heated Rivalry teaches us about the current state of
both industries.
