Ready for More Rutshire Drama? Here’s When ‘Rivals’ Season 2, Part 2 Premieres

A split season release
Disney+ is dividing Rivals season 2 into two parts rather than releasing all episodes together. The second part begins Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with three episodes available on premiere day.
After that, one new episode will arrive each Wednesday. The season’s final episode is scheduled for December, completing a 12-episode run. Six episodes aired earlier this year, leaving six still to come.
Rutshire faces more turmoil
Lady Monica Baddingham, played by Claire Rushbrook, died in a car accident after learning her husband Tony, played by David Tennant, had an affair with Maud O’Hara, played by Victoria Smurfit. Rupert Campbell-Black, portrayed by Alex Hassell, also faces difficult choices, especially about his relationship with Taggie O’Hara, played by Bella Maclean.
Parties and seasonal chaos
The coming episodes are expected to feature lavish parties, the Hampshire Hunt Ball and Bonfire Night celebrations. A chaotic Christmas is also on the way. The article gives no confirmed release date beyond season 2 for what may follow, but it says the scandals, romance and questionable decisions will continue beyond the current season.
