Another show set to make a return is Hulu’s “Rivals,” which explores a feud between two men vying for control of a television station in 1980s Britain. While the rivalry is central to the plot, it is the age gap romance between Rupert (Alex Hassell) and Taggie (Bella MacLean) that has captured the hearts of viewers. Actress Bella MacLean shared her excitement for the future of the characters, especially the challenges they will face in the upcoming season. She hinted at a rocky road ahead for Rupert and Taggie, promising fans plenty of drama and intrigue in the episodes to come.
