With names from Sex Education, Doctor Who and The Inbetweeners, the cast of 'Rivals' is looking impressive.Īlex Hassell ( The Tragedy of Macbeth) will lead the show in the role of charismatic antihero Rupert Campbell-Black. The book was published back in 1988, but Disney+ is promising to put a contemporary spin on the eight-part adaptation (likely dialling back on the very 80’s sexual politics.) Who is the cast of Rivals? Set in the ‘ruthless world of independent television in 1986’, the story follows two powerful men – ex-Olympic rider and Tory MP Rupert Campbell-Black and his ambitious TV station controller Lord Tony Baddingham – as they battle for control. Part of Jilly Cooper’s saucy 10-book ‘Rutshire Chronicles’ series, ‘Rivals’ follows members of England’s upper class as they fall in and out of bed with each other (and encounter drama along the way.) Dubbed queen of the bonkbusters, Jilly Cooper's racy novels were the 80s answer to 50 Shades Of Grey.Īnd now, with the news Jilly Cooper’s bestseller ‘Rivals’ coming to our screens as part of a new Disney+ TV Adaptation, there's some big riding boots to fill.
