David Tennant ( Good Omens ) and Alex Hassell ( Cowboy Bebop ) are bitter Rivals in the first teaser trailer for an eight-part TV adaptation of the 1988 Dame Jilly Cooper novel, which is set to drop later this year on Hulu in the U.S. (and on Disney+ internationally).

Set against the backdrop of the drama, excess and shocking antics of the social elite of 1980s England, Rivals stars Hassell as Rupert Campbell-Black, an ex-Olympian and Member of Parliament who is described as “an incorrigible rake, and dangerously charismatic.”
Tennant in turn plays Lord Tony Baddingham, controller of Corinium Television — and Rupert’s single-mindedly ambitious and egotistical foe.

The adaptation’s cast also included Aidan Turner ( Poldark ) as Declan O’Hara, a journalist and TV presenter who becomes caught in the crossfire of the feud between Rupert and Tony; Nafessa Williams ( Black Lightning ) as Cameron Cook, a ferociously talented American TV executive who is brought to England by Tony to produce Declan’s new primetime talk show; Katherine Parkinson ( Humans ) as Lizzie Vereker, a romantic novelist suffering from a distinct lack of romance in her life; and Bella Maclean ( Sex Education ) as Taggie O’Hara, Declan’s tender-hearted yet strong-willed eldest daughter (and unexpected temptation for Rupert).
The series also stars Emily Atack ( Almost Never ), Catriona Chandler ( Pistol ), Oliver Chris ( Trying ), Danny Dyer ( EastEnders ), Rufus Jones ( Little Darlings ), Lisa McGrillis ( Sex Education ), Luke Pasqualino ( Shadow and Bone ), Claire Rushbrook ( Wilderness ) and Victoria Smurfit ( Once Upon a Time ).
