There was a thread about Disney making Rivals from last year which I've also added this to. But I thought some of the TV addicts might be interested.

This is really exciting!

I do think of RCB as being blond though!

Who is who? Is Aiden Turner RCB?

I am assuming David T is Declan and Katherine Parkinson is Maud? Natasha is Cameron and Bella Taggie. Is Alex Tony?

And please tell me Danny Dyer is Freddie....

So I just found the cast list. Blimey I was wrong! Aiden Turner too young for Declan no? I did like Oliver Chris as James Vereker but Katherine P isn't chubby enough for Lizzie! I loved that Lizzie was plump and her and Freddie were all swishy together

This is the other thread I posted the cast list on - thread started last year when they originally announced the series.

Victoria Smurfit is Maud. Bella MacLean is Taggie. Catriona Chander is Caitlin. Nafessa Williams is Cameron. Katherine Parkinson is Lizzie Vereker with Oliver Chris as James. Clare Rushbrook is Lady Monica. Danny Dyer as Freddie and Lisa McGrillis as Valerie. Emily Atack as Sarah Stratton and Rufus Jones as Paul Stratton. Luke Pasqualino as Bas.

Such fun they are doing this, a proper romp! And the cast is so credible, love it

So Aiden playing Bellas dad? He is 39, can't find her age

I called emily atack for janey but she's playing Sarah Stratton!

I guess the casting will never live up to what we all have in our heads. Love love the book.

I cannot describe how excited I am
about this. It’s my favourite Jilly. Such a great cast!!

I also pictured Declan older and craggier but I won’t complain as I love Aidan Turner.

I’m sure they’ll make Rupert blonde too! Can’t wait!

Does anyone know when this is coming out? Having a quick google but only says 2024.

They were filming spring 2023 so I'd have thought out soon?!
