  DISNEY'S RIVALS SERIES  

ANNOUNCES STELLAR CAST

If you are in the mood for a Dynasty style 80's glam soap opera Disney + has announced cast for their new series RIVALS which, based on the novel by Jilly Cooper, follows the drama, excess, and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite of 1980s England. It dives headfirst into the ruthless world of independent television in 1986. In the fictional county of Rutshire, along-standing rivalry between two powerful men is about to boil over. Alex Hassell plays dashing ex-Olympian, Tory Member of Parliament and

incorrigible rake, the dangerously charismatic Rupert Campbell-Black. David Tennant is Ruperts ambitious and egotistical Rutshire neighbour Lord Tony Baddingham, controller of Corinium Television.

SEASON 2 TRAILER & AIR DATE

I must admit I fully forgot about this one as the break was so long and the first season was nothing special, but SWEET TOOTH is returning to Netflix April 27th with a second season in which a deadly new wave of the Sick bears down, as Gus (Christian Convery) and a band of fellow hybrids are held prisoner by General Abbot (Neil Sandilands) and the Last Men. Looking to consolidate power by finding a cure, Abbot uses the children as fodder for the experiments of captive Dr. Aditya Singh (the godawful Adeel Akhtar), who’s racing to save his infected wife Rani (Aliza Vellani). To protect his friends, Gus agrees to help Dr. Singh, beginning a dark journey into his origins and his mother Birdie’s (Amy Seimetz) role in the events leading up to The Great Crumble.
