Disney+ has just announced the full release date schedule for Rivals season two, part two, following THAT shocking mid-season finale cliffhanger.
The streamer took to Instagram to share the news via a post showing Corinium rival Declan O’Hara (Aidan Turner) holding up a piece of paper with the episode releases.
It has been officially confirmed that the series will resume with a three-episode drop, meaning episodes 7, 8 and 9 will all land on Wednesday 11 November.
Episodes will then arrive weekly on 18 and 25 November, ahead of the finale streaming on Wednesday 2 December.
Fans were quick to hop in the comment section to express their excitement. “Hallelujah,” wrote one Rivals enthusiast, while another said: “Babes, I am not ready.”

When viewers last caught up with the series, the scandalous Rutshire community were reeling from the death of Lady Monica Baddingham (Claire Rushbrook).
Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) was particularly affected by the loss of the wife he mistreated. The actor behind the Corinium mogul has since promised that Monica’s death will unleash an unfettered side of Tony beyond the ruthlessness we’ve seen before.
“The world is never going to be the same!” Tennant told Digital Spy. “The world of Rutshire has ruptured. [Without Monica] he is unhinged now, he is unfettered, he is unanchored.”
He continued: “She was his absolute centre. She was his home – she was what grounded him as she was what kept him sane. All of those things [are] what he dearly, dearly needs – that steadiness, that security, that constant in his life – which is why it’s particularly devastating for him going forward.”
The official synopsis for the next part of season two elaborates further: “Tony Baddingham and Declan O’Hara’s battle for the Cotswolds crown reaches fever pitch, while Rupert Campbell-Black is forced to confront his own personal demons.”

It adds: “Against a backdrop of hedonistic parties, Bonfire Night chaos, the Hampshire Hunt Ball and a turbulent Christmas, affairs unravel, alliances fracture and rivalries intensify. Caught in the middle of the frenzied franchise war, Taggie O’Hara must find the courage to follow her heart, while those around her face the consequences of ambition, power and secrets that can no longer remain hidden.
“But as series two draws to a close, who will get their happy ending?”
Rivals season two will return Wednesday 11 November on Disney+.
