Disney+ and Hulu have released a full-length trailer for the second season of Rivals, based on Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles novel series. Deadline reported that the trailer "sees the return of all the favorites from the first series, with David Tennant, Danny Dyer, Aidan Turner, Katherine Parkinson, Emily Atack, and Alex Hassell reprising their roles. Hayley Atwell and Rupert Everett have joined the cast for the upcoming season."
In the new Rivals season, "the battle for the Central South West television franchise reaches a fever pitch as the war between Corinium and Venturer enters a dangerous new phase. More ruthless than ever, Tony Baddingham (Tennant) is determined to dismantle his rivals piece-by-piece, weaponizing scandal and manipulating those closest to him to maintain his grip on power," Deadline wrote.
Rivals season 2, a Hulu original which airs on Disney+ outside the U.S., launches May 15 and will release in two six-episode batches.
