Alex Hassell and Bella Maclean in Rivals Season 1
Romance fans just keep winning! A little over a month after Rivals wrapped things up with Season 1, Hulu has renewed the hit series for a second season. Set in 1986, the series is based on Jilly Cooper's similarly titled book series, which is set in the fictional English county of Rutshire—a pun on the rutting that takes place throughout the saucy novel—and now television series.

But more importantly, the finale finally paid off the sizzling chemistry between Rupert Campbell-Black and Taggie , who he spent the majority of the season trying to put to bed his feelings for.
In an era where far too many promising series get cancelled before their second season, Rivals' renewal is a heartening bit of news for fans of the romance genre. Just last month, Hulu renewed The Artful Dodger for a second season, after making fans wait nearly a year to learn of its fate. While the similarly popular historical romance My Lady Jane was cancelled at Prime Video after one season.

In addition to Tennant, Williams, Hassell, and Maclean, the series stars Aidan Turner, Katherine Parkinson, Emily Atack, Catriona Chandler, Oliver Chris, Danny Dyer, Rufus Jones, Lisa McGrillis, Luke Pasqualino, Claire Rushbrook, and Victoria Smurfit.
