It's been two years since the Jilly Cooper of adaptation of Rivals first hit the small screens, and boy did it make an impression. Now, we're finally getting to see what happens next in the Rutshire Chronicles.
There's a smorgasbord of badly behaved people in this bunch, from diabolical TV boss Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) to renowned lothario Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell).
But not everybody is selling their soul to get their kicks. Newcomer Taggie (Bella Maclean) is painfully pining after Rupert, while local author Lizzie (Katherine Parkinson) secretly has the hots for married neighbor Freddie (Danny Dyer).
As you can probably guess, a lot is going to go down in these new episodes. But when do Rivals season 2 episodes 1-3 drop on Hulu and Disney+?
