The team behind the massively popular "Heated Rivalry" series is asking fans to respect the filming process as they put together the show's highly anticipated second season.

Accent Aigu Entertainment, the production company behind the Canadian project, took to Instagram on Tuesday to thank fans for their support before issuing the request.
