A new trailer for the upcoming Hulu Original Series, Rivals, has dropped, showcasing the ruthless world of 80’s independent television ahead of the series debut next month.
What’s Happening:
- Hulu has debuted the official trailer for their upcoming original new series, Rivals, set to arrive on the platform on October 18th.
- The film, set against the backdrop of the drama, excess, and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite of 1980s England, delves headfirst into the ruthless world of independent television in 1986.
- It’s, according to Hulu, “where hair-dos are big and ambitions are even bigger. Deals are brokered in boardrooms, as well as bedrooms. Nobody can be sure who will come out on top. With every man and woman out only for themselves, can true love really blossom?”
- The original eight-part blockbuster is based on the iconic novel by Dame Jilly Cooper – part of her Rutshire Chronicles series, which is packed full of romantic entanglements, dastardly deals, sex, and wit.
