Rivals is back! Season 2 has arrived, bringing all the drama and passion fans loved from the first season. Based on the books by the late Jilly Cooper, this series once again plunges viewers into its scandalous and competitive world, and it didn’t take long to arrive after the first season ended.
The original cast is back, and with everyone eager for payback, the next episodes promise to be exciting.
The story is heating up as the conflict between Corinium and Venturer escalates, and Tony Baddingham is shown to be ruthless in his quest for power, using damaging information and manipulation to control his opponents. Now that the first three episodes of season 2 of Rivals are available on Disney Plus, some viewers are curious why there aren’t more episodes available right away. This season has a different release schedule than the first, so here’s information about when you can expect new episodes to drop.
