Will you watch season two of Rivals?

The first half of the second season begins streaming on Friday.

SEASON TWO OF Disney+ smash-hit Rivals, starring our very own Aidan Turner and Victoria Smurfit, is kicking off on Friday.

Based on Jilly Cooper’s steamy Rutshire Chronicles, the show charts the rivalry between Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) and MP Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell), and their separate television broadcasters.

The series will roll out in two six-episode batches. A three-episode premiere will kick off on 15 May, followed by the second batch later this year on Disney+.

Aoife Barry has a full rundown of what to expect, the new cast additions and a catch-up on last season if it’s slipped your mind.

So today we’re asking you: Will you watch season two of Rivals?
