It’s the most perfect festive news: Rivals on Disney+ will officially be getting another series. Based on Jilly Cooper’s famous 1985 novel, its first season was a masterpiece: a joyous explosion of sex, horniness, 80s hair and massive houses and parties.

So it’s a no-brainer that the residents of Rutshire will be returning – there’s also a lot more of that 720-page book it’s based on to get through.

Jilly Cooper is thrilled her characters will get another outing: “I’m orgasmic with excitement,” she revealed. “I cannot wait for the return of my superhero Rupert Campbell-Black and the rest of the characters in season two!” (A side note: my resolution for 2025 is to only ever be orgasmic with excitement.)

So while I wait, impatiently, here’s everything I hope will happen in series two…
