If you spent the past week coping with…*looks around*…everything by watching Rivals, then you are not alone. The pulpy and incredibly horny Hulu/Disney+ series (words that should never be used together, but here we are) follows a rivalry between aristocrats in the English countryside and is best described as Bridgerton meets The Crown meets a 1980s fever dream.

Liam Keelan, who is Disney’s Senior Vice President, implied season 2 is coming during an interview with : “You’d have to be living in a cave not to have come across Rivals,“he said, ever-so modestly. “Everyone’s talking about it. I’ve seriously never known anything like it. But it’s been on the platform for just over a week, so give us a chance, but hopefully more news to come. Suffice to say, we love the show.”
Showrunner Dominic Treadwell-Collins, meanwhile, told that “We’ve got the rights to all of . We get through about half of the book in this series, so there’s hope for more.”
