Rivals has been greenlit for a second season on Disney+ and Dame Jilly Cooper is fired up about it. “I’m orgasmic with excitement,” she said about the news.
Rivals romped onto the streaming channel in October, becoming the smash hit of autumn television. The London Standard called it “gloriously trashy” and the raunchy Eighties adaptation of Cooper’s classic bonkbuster even caused a mini property boom in the Cotswolds. It also surprised audiences by revealing how fine an actor Danny Dyer is, with his portrayal of Freddie Jones.
