Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Rivals Season 2, Episode 5.Now almost halfway through its second season, Rivalscontinues to keep its fans on their toes with new twists that differ from the events of the Dame Jilly Cooper novel on which it's based. So far, Season 2 has seen the fallout of Cameron Cook (Nafessa Williams) and Tony Baddingham's (David Tennant) confrontation at the end of Season 1, as well as the very public fall of Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell). Season 2 continues to adapt crucial scenes from the book, while also incorporating exciting new storylines into the series.



Editor's Note: The below interview contains spoilers for Rivals Season 2 Episode 6.Rivals Season 2 has officially hit its midway point, but if you think the first half of Season 2 was big, well then, Dominic Treadwell-Collins has news for you. Collider sat down with the showrunner to discuss all things Rivals after that major death in the midseason finale, which was a shocking change from the books. It's already been revealed that Rachael Stirling, Rupert Evans, and Santiago Cabrera will be joining the second part of Season 2 β Cabrera and Evans will be coming in as book characters Alejandro Mendoza from Poloand David Hawkley from The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, respectively, which follow Rivals in Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles series. Stirling's Araminta Pemberton, however, comes in as a new character and seems primed to cause trouble. With so much more of the original novel's story to wrap up, there's a lot of ground for Rivals to cover when it returns this November.
