"Rivals," the second book in Cooper's series of romantic novels, is being adapted as an eight-episode season streaming on Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ internationally. Set in England in the 1980s, the rivalry between two men (Alex Hassell and David Tennant) takes center stage on a television talk show.
