Miley Cyrus Is ‘So In’ to Do a Song for ‘Heated Rivalry’: Here’s What One of the Show’s Stars Thinks

On the heels of her success with Avatar: Fire & Ash, Miley Cyrus wants to keep her spark for TV and film scoring alive by contributing a song to the hit series Heated Rivalry.

The pop star revealed as much in a conversation with Variety over the weekend at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Though she hasn’t yet seen the sensual hockey-themed show about opponents who fall in love that’s been enthralling HBO Max subscribers since late November, Cyrus told the publication that it’s “all [she’s] heard about” lately and wants to contribute an original song to season two.

“Oh, I’m so in,” she said excitedly on Saturday (Jan. 3). “Book me. Get me booked!”

And at the Critic’s Choice Awards the following day, Variety spoke to one of Heated Rivalry‘s stars to gauge interest in having Cyrus — a longtime vocal LGBTQ+ ally — come aboard. “I think we might get a little bit bigger budget for season two, but I don’t know if we get Miley budget,” quipped François Arnaud, who plays hockey star Scott Hunter.

He then added, “I think if she sees the show, she might give us a discount.”

Premiering Nov. 28 with a six-episode arc that finished in late December, Heated Rivalry is one of the biggest breakout TV shows of 2025. It has already been renewed for a second season on HBO Max.

In addition to taking the internet by storm with a variety of viral scenes, the series has also led to streaming boosts for a number of songs featured in the episodes, including Wet Leg’s “Mangetout” and Feist’s “Sealion.”

And while Heated Rivalry is one show she’d love to write music for, Cyrus has previously said that she’s open to any scoring projects after contributing original song “Dream As One” to James Cameron’s recent Avatar film. “No, literally that’s why I went to the Oscars this year,” she told People in December. “Everybody that came up and introduced themselves, I said, ‘Well, if you need any music, I’m around.’”
