Now, Cooper has garnered a whole new generation of fans, thanks to Disney+’s TV adaptation of Rivals, which is part of the author’s Rutshire Chronicles series. ‘Rivals’ season 2 After weeks of speculation, Disney+ announced on Wednesday 4 December that Rivals season two is officially happening. Author Jilly Cooper is once again executive producing, and said: “Nearly 40 years after my novel Rivals was published, I’ve adored seeing the world fall in love with my beloved characters – Rutshire’s finest – and it has been a fairy tale come true working with Happy Prince and Disney+ on the first season. I’m orgasmic with excitement and cannot wait for the return of my superhero Rupert Campbell-Black and the rest of the characters in season two.” While there’s no intel on the season’s release date quite yet, we can expect the second series to be based on the last half of Cooper’s novel, as season one was adapated from the first half.
