Things finally come to a head (spoiler alert!) at the British Television Awards. Corinium Television wins an award at the event, but there is a whole lot going on behind the scenes. Tony ends up proposing to Cameron (Nafessa Williams), a former NBC producer who moved from the US to the UK to work for Tony, promising to leave his wife for her. However, when she reveals that she has been having a relationship with Rupert—and that she wants that relationship to continue—he slaps her. Cameron ends up hitting Tony over the head with their award, and we are left with a shot of Tony bleeding on the floor in a tantalizing cliff-hanger.
Will there be a Rivals season 2?
Rivals season one left us with plenty of questions. For one thing, what will happen to Corinium Television!? Luckily, Hulu has confirmed a second season of the show. “Following widespread critical acclaim and a dramatic, cliff-hanger ending, EMEA Disney+ with Happy Prince (part of ITV Studios) has officially renewed the hit UK original series for a second run,” the streaming service announced via a press release. “Rivals will return to Hulu in the US and Disney+ in the UK and internationally.”
What will happen in Rivals season 2?
Given the fact that Rivals is based on one novel of 11 books in Dame Jilly Cooper’s Rutshire Chronicles, there is certainly plenty of content for Rivals season 2—and future seasons—to work with. It is worth noting, however, that each of Cooper’s novels follows a new set of characters, though Rupert reappears throughout the series.
According to a press release from Hulu, here’s what we can expect to see in season 2: “Set in the stunning Cotswolds countryside and against the backdrop of the glamorous, high-stakes world of 1980s British television, the second installment reunites the all-star cast who captivated fans and critics, while introducing some exciting new faces. Following last season’s dramatic cliff-hanger with Tony’s fate hanging in the balance, Lord Baddingham is back and out for vengeance ready to stop at nothing to keep Corinium’s empire unrivaled.”
