There are quite a few upsides to the streaming age that we're all living through, along with a fair few downsides, but the variety of genres that are now getting major airtime in people's living rooms and lounges is always impressive to consider. High up that list, in my opinion, is the raunchy adult drama – people can't get enough steamy, sexy, gossipy material.
A perfect example was served up in late 2024 by Rivals, on Disney+ and Hulu. It adapted the first of a series of much-loved novels by Jilly Cooper that make absolute no bones about being silly and sexy. Unsurprisingly, with a great cast and some really fun scripts, it was received really well, and now it's back with a second season that we all knew was on the way.
