Disney+ has released the first full trailer for Rivals, their upcoming eight part series based on Jilly Cooper’s famous novel.
The trailer features as yet unseen characters from ‘The Cooperverse’ with the eight-parter set against the backdrop of the drama, excess, and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite of 1980s England.
Rivals is part of Cooper’s Rutshire Chronicles series packed full of romantic entanglements, dastardly deals, sex and wit.
Rivals stars Alex Hassell (The Tragedy of Macbeth, The Boys) as Rupert Campbell-Black, David Tennant (Doctor Who, The Thursday Murder Club) as Lord Tony Baddingham, Aidan Turner (Poldark, The Suspect) as Declan O’Hara and Bella Maclean as Taggie O’Hara, alongside Danny Dyer (EastEnders, The Football Factory), Katherine Parkinson (Humans, Here We Go), Nafessa Williams (Black Lighting, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody), Emily Atack (The Emily Atack Show, The Inbetweeners) and Victoria Smurfit (Bloodlands, Once Upon A Time).
The series hits Disney+ on 18th October.
