Yerin Ha on Bridgerton-Heated Rivalry Crossover Pitch

Yerin Ha is pondering a trip to a different cottage.

In fact, the Bridgerton star is all on board to join forces with another steamy series: Heated Rivalry. 

“I’m gonna tell the producers out there watching,” host Keltie Knight pitched to Yerin on Live From E! at the 2026 Actor Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles March 1, “we need a Bridgerton–Heated Rivalry crossover. Because that would just explode our televisions.”

And Yerin—who looked stunning in a feather black and white Balenciaga set—was fully on board, noting, “[We] have different cottages, we can go to different cottages.” (Click here to see all the red red carpet fashion.)

And those cottages play a big role on both shows, with Heated Rivalry’s Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) heading to theirs, and Yerin’s character Sophie and Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) falling in love at their cottage. 

As Keltie joked, it would be “a corset in a cottage,” adding that she and Yerin should be “in charge of everything.”
