Hulu and Disney Plus series is returning for a second season.
“Rivals”, the saucy drama which airs on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally has been greenlit for a second season.
Written by Jilly Cooper, the story follows two upper class love rivals.
The author said: “Nearly 40 years after my novel Rivals was published, I’ve adored seeing the world fall in love with my beloved characters — Rutshire’s Finest. And it has been a fairytale come true working with Happy Prince [part of ITV Studios] and Disney+ on the first season. I’m orgasmic with excitement and cannot wait for the return of my superhero Rupert Campbell-Black and the rest of the characters in season two!”
Lee Mason, executive director of scripted originals, EMEA Disney+, added: “It’s been phenomenal seeing the reaction to Dame Jilly Cooper’s Rivals — this autumn’s most talked about series. We’re thrilled that existing fans of the novels, alongside those new to the Cooperverse, have taken the series to their hearts. I can’t wait to get back to Rutshire and see what exciting drama the Happy Prince team have in store for season two — bring on more romance, betrayal, and shoulder pads!”
The second season will stream later next year.
