If you're anything like us, you've already gobbled up Disney+'s Rivals. So of course, the only question on your mind is: Will there be a Rivals season 2?
The first season, inspired by the second book in Dame Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles series, introduced us to the bitter rivalry between ex show jumper Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell), journalist Declan O’Hara (Aidan Turner), and TV mogul Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant). Set in the English Cotswolds in the 1980s, the show is an endlessly addictive and surprisingly satisfying guilty pleasure of a show, filled with displays of excess, over-the-top sex scenes, and plenty of deliciously awful people. In short, we need more of it!
Here's what we know about a potential Rivals season 2 so far.

What happened in Rivals season 1?
First, a quick recap of everything that happened in the first eight episodes: The show loosely follows the events of Cooper's novel of the same name, which is actually the second book in her famous 10-book Rutshire Chronicles series. The show takes us deep into the lives of the English elite as they climb the social ladder through both business manoeuvres and romantic affairs.
The series begins as a long-standing rivalry between a charismatic ex-Olympic rider turned politician named Rupert Campbell-Black and the somewhat sinister TV station controller Lord Tony Baddingham comes to a head. Tony expands Corinium Television, bringing on new chat-show host Declan O'Hara.
