The second season of Disney+'s "Rivals" continues to captivate audiences with its blend of '80s glamour, countryside scandal, and intense rivalries. Set in the fictional county of Rutshire, inspired by England's Cotswolds region, the series explores the high-stakes battle between rival television channels.
Filming for this season brought the fictional Rutshire to life across various picturesque locations in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. Iconic sites include Tetbury, a town where the author Dame Jilly Cooper once resided, and Corsham in Wiltshire. The production also utilized scenic spots in Wales, such as Monmouthshire, and expanded to Devon for specific scenes.
"Rivals" season 2 showcases stunning properties, many of which are real, privately owned homes and historic castles. Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire, Neston Park, and Chavenage House—familiar to fans of "Poldark"—serve as key backdrops, contributing to the series' opulent and dramatic atmosphere.
