    From Your Name@3:633/10 to All on Wednesday, June 17, 2026 16:52:39

    The most idiotic "drama" show on television has been renewed for yet
    another smut-laden season. When even Disney starts catering for the gutter-level, you know TV is in trouble. :-(


    Hit Hulu and Disney+ TV Show Renewed for Season 3
    -------------------------------------------------
    A popular Hulu and Disney+ TV show locks Season 3 ahead of Season 2's
    return. It's already been described as the "naughtiest show on TV".

    What Hulu and Disney+ TV show has been renewed for a third season?
    Hulu and Disney+ TV show Rivals originally premiered in 2024 and has
    been renewed for Season 3 ahead of Season 2's final installment,
    reports The Hollywood Reporter.

    Featuring David Tennant, Alex Hassell, Aidan Turner, Bella Maclean,
    Nafessa Williams, Victoria Smurfit, Claire Rushbrook and Danny Dyer,
    among others, the series is based on Dame Jilly Cooper's famous
    Rutshire Chronicles books.

    Since its debut, Rivals has gained a massive fan following, earning
    both International?Emmy and BAFTA awards along the way. It has
    consistently impressed critics across both seasons, with Season 1
    holding a stellar 95% Tomatometer score and Season 2 ranking even
    higher at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.

    Rivals is a Hulu original in the U.S. and a Disney+ original
    globally, produced by ITV Studios' Happy Prince. "As the dust settles
    post the scandalous revelations in season 2, we see the stakes become
    higher and the alliances more fragile, with nothing staying buried
    for long," said Disney+ in a statement while teasing the remainder of
    second season and the next chapter as well.

    As for Rivals Season 3, it will consist of 12 episodes and will
    unravel many mysteries. "New romances blossom, old flames rekindle
    and shocking secrets will be spilled in this third [season], which
    takes everyone's favorite rivalries to the next level. In a world of
    power, passion and betrayal, everyone has something to lose."

    Rivals Season 2, with six more episodes, will return on Hulu and
    Disney+ in November 2026.

    I read that whole thing and it didn't tell me anything about what the
    show is about.

    Gay hockey players.

    It's one of those shows where gay people are wildly out of proportion to their actual percentage of the population. Everyone just happens to be gay.

    This show is notable for its explicit portrayal of gay sex on a mainstream show. Strangely, for a show about guys banging each other, its fan base is almost exclusively female.

    Pr0n!

    Oh. Not pr0n. Excessively complicated melodramatic romance. They talk
    endlessly about their feelings, leaving no time for sex.

    I read that whole thing and it didn't tell me anything about what the
    show is about.

    It's based on a Jilly Cooper novel ... so basically "smutty chick
    porn". Even with some relatively famous actors in it, it is not even
    remotely worth bothering to attempt to watch by anyone with more than
    zero braincells.

    Um, you're confusing this with "Heated Rivalry" (the gay hockey show).

    "Rivals" is some 1990s(?) set thing with David Tennant (I still regret
    that he went insane...).

    FTR, I have seen neither series (despite them both being on streamers I
    have), as I'm usually sticking to sci-fi or fantasy or "Dad TV" action
    shows in my streaming TV series. O:)

    It's one of those shows where gay people are wildly out of proportion to their
    actual percentage of the population. Everyone just happens to be gay.

    This show is notable for its explicit portrayal of gay sex on a mainstream show. Strangely, for a show about guys banging each other, its fan base is almost exclusively female.

    Yeah, I have noticed that too. A lot of peoples's grandmas(!??!) seem to
    be into "Heated Rivalry".
