Disney+ has released the trailer for the second season of Rivals, offering a glimpse of new romantic developments for Taggie O'Hara and Basil 'Bas' Baddingham. The trailer, which dropped on Thursday, shows Bas eating cake and murmuring appreciatively while Taggie looks at him with a slight smile, hinting at a potential flirtation.
In Jilly Cooper's original novel, Bas invites Taggie to a ball as his date, sparking a brief flirtation that sends Rupert Campbell-Black into a jealous spiral. The series may expand on this storyline, adding turbulence to the romantic arc.
The end of season one saw Taggie and Rupert confess their feelings and share a passionate kiss, but they remain apart in the new trailer. Taggie confides in her siblings about the confusing kiss, while Rupert is still involved with Cameron and Taggie is dating Seb.
The official synopsis for season two describes the battle for the Central South West television franchise intensifying, with Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) seeking vengeance after his near-death in season one. Personal lives spiral into chaos amid the hedonistic glamour of the 1980s.
Rivals season two premieres on Disney+ next month.
