Is ‘Rivals’ Renewed for Season 3?
Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins says the stories are done, but the series still needs an official renewal before Season 3 can move ahead.
Producers have finished planning a third season of the television drama Rivals, though the series has not yet received an official greenlight from Hulu. Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said the creative team is "ready to go."
Anticipation for a potential renewal builds as the 12-episode second season premieres on Hulu this Friday, May 15, 2026. The season releases in two parts with weekly episodes following the initial three-episode drop.
Returning stars including David Tennant and Aidan Turner join new cast members such as Hayley Atwell and Rupert Everett for the upcoming episodes. The production remains under executive producer Treadwell-Collins.
The second season adapts the latter half of Dame Jilly Cooper's source material, depicting the intensifying battle for the Central South West television franchise. Plotlines feature fractured marriages and escalating conflicts between Corinium and Venturer.
Future development for a third season depends entirely on official renewal and production timelines. Producers have yet to determine which of Cooper's novels might serve as inspiration for the next installment.
