Emily Atack's Bold Debut in Disney+ 'Rivals'

Emily Atack has made a striking debut in Disney+'s adaptation of Jilly Cooper's novel 'Rivals' with a scene that has quickly become a talking point. Known for her previous role in 'The Inbetweeners', Atack's opening scene, where she appears nude while playing tennis, has garnered significant attention and is praised as 'liberating' by the actress herself. The series, which also stars Katherine Parkinson, Danny Dyer, and David Tennant, received a high Rotten Tomatoes rating shortly after its release, reflecting viewers' positive reception. Atack portrays Sarah Stratton, the Deputy Prime Minister's wife, using her status to navigate the competitive world of television. While the nudity and sex scenes are integral to the storyline, Atack emphasizes they are not gratuitous. Supported by intimacy coordinators on set, Atack remains confident and comfortable in her role despite some negative spin.
