“Rivals” Season 2 Part 2 Trailer Released
Disney has released a trailer for the second half of the second season of the hit British drama series, “Rivals”, which is based on the novel of the same name, part of Cooper’s bestselling “Rutshire Chronicles”, and will be coming soon to Disney+ and Hulu.
In the new season, the stakes have never been higher. As the return to the scandal and excess of 1987 edges closer, the residents of Rutshire reunite for more revelry, rivalry and romance, but as the stakes ramp up, they must face tragedy, heartbreak, backstabbing, and betrayal head-on.
Episodes 7-12 pick up after the heartbreaking mid-series finale. Tony Baddingham and Declan O’Hara’s battle for the Cotswolds crown reaches fever pitch, while Rupert Campbell-Black is forced to confront his own personal demons. Against a backdrop of hedonistic parties, Bonfire Night chaos, the Hampshire Hunt Ball and a turbulent Christmas, affairs unravel, alliances fracture and rivalries intensify. Caught in the middle of the frenzied franchise war, Taggie O’Hara must find the courage to follow her heart, while those around her face the consequences of ambition, power and secrets that can no longer remain hidden. But as series two draws to a close, who will get their happy ending?
