Rivals Renewed for Season 2 on Hulu and Disney+

The Hulu and Disney+ adaptation of Jilly Cooper's novel 'Rivals' has been renewed for a second season, following its success and the cliffhanger ending of the first season. The series is set in 1980s England and explores the dramatic and scandalous lives of the social elite, featuring characters like Rupert Campbell-Black and Lord Tony Baddingham, played by Alex Hassell and David Tennant, respectively. Praised for its engaging plot and character dynamics, the show has captured the essence of Cooper's bestselling 'Rutshire Chronicles'. Jilly Cooper expressed her excitement about the series' reception and the return of her characters for another season. The show's renewal was decided early due to positive reviews and high viewership. The second season will continue to stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.
