    • The highly anticipated adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s best-selling novel, Rivals, will soon be available to enjoy as a TV drama thanks to Disney+. The eight-part “bonk-buster” will be available from 18th October on Disney+.

    If you’re on holiday over the release but can’t wait to watch, you can watch Rivals from anywhere with a VPN.

    The series is based heavily on one of Jilly Cooper’s Rutshire Chronicles Rivals and follows the competition and rivalry between two ambitious and charismatic men, “dashing ex-Olympian, Tory MP and incorrigible rake” Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant). The steamy classic is set in 1986 where deals are brokered in boardrooms, as well as bedrooms – and nobody can be sure who will come out on top.

    Rivals features a star-studded cast that also includes Emily Atack, Danny Dyer, Aidan Turner, Katherine Parkinson, Luke Pasqualino and Claire Rushbrook.

    Dame Jilly Cooper, who also acts as an executive producer on the Disney+ series, says she couldn’t have dreamed of a better cast.

    “I’m utterly enchanted to be able to announce our all-star line-up for Rivals, says Jilly. “I cannot wait to be on set and see them bring the characters I love so much to life!”

    Here’s a taste of what’s to come in Rivals.
