Recently, Disney+ has been expanding its offerings beyond the usual franchise audiences expect. In fact, the cast of a new drama for the streamer has just been announced. Deadline is reporting that David Tennant, Alex Hassell, Aidan Turner and Danny Dyer, will be part of an ensemble cast in Rivals.

The book is part of her bestselling Rutshire Chronicles, a romance series that follows the upper-class families of a fictional English county. Rivals explores all the “drama, excess and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite” in the cut-throat world of British television of the 1980s, as the rivalry between two men hits a boiling point.
