Rivals stars an all-star cast Aidan Turner, David Tennant, Alex Hassell, Bella McLean, Nafsa Williams, Katherine Parkinson, Victoria Smurfit, Emily Atack and Danny Dyer.
The first season is over with some big cliffs After Freddie’s Declan (Turner), Rupert (Hassell) and Venturer (Dyer) beat Tony’s (Tennant) Corinium to the franchise recommendation. Things change when Tony learns of Cameron’s (Williams) relationship with Rupert and lashes out by attacking her.

Rupert broke that promise at the end of the first season When he finally kissed Tegi Despite being in a relationship with Cameron.

A A substantial change from the book Did Cameron hit Tony instead of the other way around. The Season 1 finale left Tony’s fate unclear as he bled to death in his office.
executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins Previously teased if Tony was really dead, and told TV Insider In October 2024, “There are so many possibilities about what could happen, but what we do know is that revenge is a dish best served on television.”
Rivals wouldn’t be what it is without Rupert and Declan’s nemesis sticking around. There’s also Tony’s wife, Monica (Claire Rushbrook), to worry because she was waiting for him to come home. After confronting him about his affair with Cameron, Monica threatened to leave him, so we need to know how that works out.
While Venturer has a chance to pitch the franchise, they haven’t won yet. Corinium is still a more established company – even with Tony seemingly out of commission. The future of the project is a central question on the subject usConsider when we wait for new episodes of the show.
The entire first season Get over Rupert and Taggy’s kiss – But the road to happiness and wealth is not so easy. While (spoiler alert!) Rupert and Taggy get married in the book series, it’s unclear how wild things will continue to be for the fan-favorite couple.
“I’m really intrigued. There are so many obstacles in our way and Rupert is really conflicted morally. I wonder what will happen now with Taggy,” McLean exclusively said Us Weekly in December 2024. “It’s going to be a lot more bumpy, but what it means for Taggy is a very interesting thing. There’s a lot of ideas being thrown around. We’ve got to get Season 2 fast.”
There’s also Declan to think about since Rupert promised Don’t investigate anything with his daughter.
“It’s going to be tricky. And he did keep his promise – partly for Declan – but I think for many other reasons. Rupert thought Teggy was too good for him and that he shouldn’t bring her down to his level. So I think he tried to keep a respectful distance even though he didn’t necessarily do the It’s in the best way,” Hassel explained. “Because he thought it was the right thing to do in general – apart from Declan’s wishes alone.”
He continued: “But I think he definitely values āāhis relationship and his deep friendship with Declan. But they’re also starting Corinium, so they’re going to try to go for the franchise. So they have to be functioning as a team in that way as well.”
Declan and Maud’s marriage reached breaking point in the finale, but is this the end? while most us Looking for Declan and Maud to move on, it doesn’t make sense not to see them take care of their problems In the second season of the show.
“She’s sacrificed a lot. It’s slowly dawning on Declan – it comes in waves where he’ll get a lot of it and then he’ll try to shake it off because of the guilt and shame that surrounds it and deal again. And then it’ll come back again,” Turner said. us In December 2024. “By the end of the season it really becomes clear to him the damage he caused.”
Turner wasn’t sure where the story was will go from here
“I always felt that Declan had a very complicated and complicated relationship with his wife and his family. But it always felt very real to me. So I always had a door that I didn’t feel like I had to fight for. He’s a good guy, actually,” he noted. “He loves his family and he just wants to be with him. But of course there’s an ego and there’s all these other things that get involved. Life is complicated and complicated and not what you think it’s going to be. It’s just an understanding of that.”
When one door closes, another door opens. us sitting for The potential of Declan and Cameron Romance, Turner did not rule out.
“With Cameron’s situation, they work very well together. And in the book, there’s a project they’re both working on outside the country that keeps them both away,” he teased to us. “And I think their friendship and their relationship stands the test. That’s all I can say. I don’t want to say too much.”
Before working through their issues, Declan planned to bury Rupert on live TV with a secret he kept in an envelope. Declan didn’t use the smoking gun and later he burned the paper, but it would be very unsatisfying to leave that unanswered. For now, all we know is the name Perdita, which means nothing unless you read Cooper’s novels.
Season 1 introduced Sarah (Attack) as Paul (Rufus Jones(a woman who was often unfaithful with Rupert and later with James)Oliver Chris). She revealed that she is expecting a child at the end of season 1 – but it is not clear who the father is.

They spent the entire first season struggling with their feelings for each other until they We finally sleep together in the finale. Now they have to go back to their partners – Lizzie is married to James while Freddie is married to Valerie (Lisa McGrills) – unless they decide to leave their marriage to start a life together.
