There was nothing quite like independent television in 1980s Britain—big hair, big opinions, even bigger drama. And Hulu’s Rivals is going to capture all the juiciest parts of it all. Based on Dame Jilly Cooper’s novel of the same name, Rivals stars David Tennant alongside Alex Hassell, Bella Maclean, Katherine Parkinson, Aidan Turner, Nafessa Williams, Danny Dyer, and more British icons than you can shake a stick at.
The trailer launches you headfirst into 1986, feeling every bit the coked-up glitz and not-so-glam you want it to be. There are fights and frills and f——…well, we’ll let you watch the trailer for yourself. Rivals hits Hulu on October 18 and it’s ready to threaten us with one hell of a good time.
