Heated Rivalry Author Rachel Reid Discusses HBO Show and Parkinson’s

Romance novelist Rachel Reid is not only finding success with her Game Changers book series but is also managing her Parkinson’s diagnosis thanks to the HBO Max show based on her work, Heated Rivalry. In a recent interview with Variety, Rachel shared how show creator Jacob Tierney’s mention of her diagnosis on CNN led to a top Parkinson’s expert reaching out to her, offering much-needed assistance. This expert has helped her find a neurologist and adjust her medication to improve her sleep, which has had a positive impact on her ability to write, despite the challenges her Parkinson’s presents.

With the second season of Heated Rivalry confirmed, there’s plenty of other shows seeing either renewals or cancellations. From thrillers like Down Cemetery Road, starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, to true crime series like Snapped on Oxygen, viewers have a range of options to explore. With various comedies, dramas, and even animation shows returning or ending, there’s no shortage of entertainment choices coming up. So whether you’re a fan of crime-solving sleuths, home renovation shows, or captivating dramas, there’s something for everyone in the world of streaming content.
