    "articleBody": "Rutshire’s war is back on. The second half of Rivals season 2 arrived on November 11 with three new episodes at once, picking up after a storm left David Tennant’s scheming TV boss Lord Tony Baddingham a widower and his rivals scrambling. Disney’s own guide to the season confirms the rollout: 12 episodes in total, split into two batches of six. The first six streamed between May 15 and June 5, 2026. The other three in the second batch land one a week, on November 18, November 25 and December 2. Where the story stands The Jilly Cooper adaptation is set in the Cotswolds in 1987, the year of a general election and the Great Storm. Part 1 ended with that storm turning deadly: Tony’s wife, Monica, was killed when a tree fell on her car, after she had learned of his affair with Maud O’Hara. According to the official synopsis, the new episodes push the franchise fight between Tony’s Corinium and the rival Venturer consortium to breaking point. The plot runs through Bonfire Night, the Hampshire Hunt Ball and a rough Christmas, with corruption at the heart of the franchise battle finally coming out. Taggie O’Hara (Bella Maclean), the streamer says, must follow her heart. New faces for part 2 The back half introduces three more characters: Araminta Pemberton, younger sister of the late Lady Monica Baddingham, played by Rachael Stirling David Hawkley, a headmaster Alejandro Mendoza, described as an Argentinian polo legend They join season 2 additions Hayley Atwell, as Rupert Campbell-Black’s ex-wife Helen Gordon, and Rupert Everett, as her husband Malise, Rupert’s former show-jumping coach. Alex Hassell, Aidan Turner, Nafessa Williams, Danny Dyer, Katherine Parkinson and Emily Atack are all back. How to watch, and how long the wait was In the US, the show streams on Hulu and on Hulu inside Disney+ for bundle subscribers. Elsewhere, including the UK, it is on Disney+. The split release stretched the season over more than six months. Part 1 finished on June 5 and part 2 began on November 11, a gap of 159 days, or just under 23 weeks. Counting from the season 2 premiere on May 15 to the finale on December 2, the full season runs 201 days, compared with the single-day drop of all eight season 1 episodes on October 18, 2024. The good news for fans is that the story does not stop there. A third season was ordered back on June 16, 2026, and Disney+ says it will again run 12 episodes. No date has been given. Disney+ has had a busy November: it also began streaming Avengers: Endgame Encore with new Doomsday scenes. If you like British period drama with a ruthless streak, our piece on all six Peaky Blinders seasons on Netflix is another place to start. Episode 10 of Rivals season 2 streams on November 18, with the season finale on December 2.
