Flash Back to the 1980s With This Steamy New Teaser for David Tennant's 'Rivals'

The Big Picture Fresh off his second stint as the lead on Doctor Who, David Tennant is going back in time again. Tennant's new Hulu series Rivals offers a trip back to 1980s Britain, complete with private helicopters, lavish parties, and luxurious thickets of chest hair. The streamer dropped the new teaser for the eight-episode miniseries today - but no date has yet been set for its release.

The new teaser offers glimpses of the two titular rivals; Tennant’s Lord Tony Baddingham, a gentleman farmer and controller of Corinium Television, and Rupert Campbell-Black , an Olympian turned politician. The two are neighbors in the fictional English county of Rutshire, and their rivalry is going to extend from the boardroom to the broadcast room - and especially to the bedroom.

Who Else Stars in 'Rivals? Close In addition to the two leads, the series will also feature Poldark's Aidan Turner as mustachioed TV star Declan O'Hara, with Victoria Smurfit as his wife Maud. Nafessa Williams will star as ambitious, domineering TV executive Cameron Cook. Katherine Parkinson , Emily Atack , Catriona Chandler , Oliver Chris , Danny Dyer , Rufus Jones , Lisa McGrillis , Luke Pasqualino , and Claire Rushbrook will also star in the series.

The series is produced by Dominic Treadwell-Collins via Happy Prince; Treadwell-Collins is also executive producing with Alexander Lamb. The series' lead director is Elliot Hegarty , who also serves as executive producer on the first three episodes. Eliza Mellor serves as series producer. The series' writers are Treadwell-Collins, Laura Wade, Sophie Goodhart, Marek Horn, Mimi Hare, Clare Naylor, Dare Aiyegbayo, Kefi Chadwick, Tray Agyeman, and Sorcha Kurien Walsh.

Rivals will be released on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally later this year; no release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch the new teaser for Rivals below.
