Rivals is being produced by Happy Prince, which is part of ITV Studios, and will air globally on Disney+, on Hulu in the US and on Star+ in Latin America. In 2016 it was announced that Cooper’s series would be adapted for ITV by UK production company FilmWave, although this never materialised. Brooding hero Jake Lovell, under whose magic hands even the most difficult horse or woman is charmed, is driven by his loathing of the dashing darling of the show ring, Rupert Campbell-Black. Riders, the first book in the Rutshire Chronicles series, was adapted into a film in 1993 starring Marcus Gilbert as Campbell-Black. Confessions of Custard: A Military Mule, Letters to Merrie and Bright, 1929-1932. Set against the glorious Cotswold countryside, Riders offers an intoxicating blend of swooning romance, adventure and hilarious high jinks. Treadwell-Collins said Cooper’s “iconic novels’ razor-sharp observations on class, sex, love and what it means to be British resonate even more today than when Jilly wrote them in the 1980s”. The author has previously revealed that Campbell-Black was a composite of the Duchess of Cornwall’s first husband Andrew Parker Bowles, fashion designer Rupert Lycett Green, and Michael Howard, the 21st Earl of Suffolk. She said she was “so, so excited” about the adaptation and could not wait to see who would step into the shoes of Campbell-Black. The series is being written by Dominic Treadwell-Collins, who was an executive producer on A Very English Scandal and EastEnders, and Olivier award winner Laura Wade, and who wrote the screenplay for the film The Riot Club.Ĭooper will also be an executive producer.
