Disney Plus doing Jilly Cooper's Rivals

[countrylifer]

This is just the best news. I've been waiting for an adaptation of Rivals since I first fell in love with the bounder Rupert C-B in circa 1997.

But the question is who will play him? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who can fill those boots - any suggestions?

Yes series two is being filmed now!!

Ehrmagerd YES to the 2nd season. We def need loads of polo chucked in so we can immediately segue to Polo!!!

Such sad news about Jilly Cooper :(

Back May 15th!
There’s a new trailer for the second series on IG - I can’t seem to link to it. But you’ll find it if you look on the happy prince.
Seems to feature a lot of polo and Tony is very much alive!

Lovely, a little spot of joy on the horizon, can’t wait! Thank you for sharing this 😍

The twins are also seen getting out of a helicopter - I can't remember them from series 1 (or featuring in the book) so I can only think they have incorporated some of Polo.

woop woop!! Can’t wait. Off to YouTube the trailer

Have rewatched the trailer and they are getting out of a jeep not a helicopter!

Looking forward to this returning. Hope it's a suitable tribute to Jilly!

Eek, how exciting! Definitely looks like they’ve incorporated Polo. Pleased to see Seb and Dommie making an appearance!

I think Polo had to be a bit in it as the name Perdita was Declan’s gotcha in the Rupert interview!

I had forgotten that!

Just spotted the trailer with the twins and thought this will open up the whole Rutshire Chronicles for tv hopefully.

This year?

Yes - says 15.05.26!

I’m in bed with a horrible cough/cold. This has really cheered me up. Delighted to see polo and the twins.
