An 80s book gets a 20s adaptation
www.whattowatch.comHere’s what’s currently the latest on where to watch Rivals.
- US: Hulu for Rivals season 1; Disney+ and Hulu bundles are common paths for US viewers, with season 2 releasing on Disney+ in the UK and Hulu for US audiences as of mid-2026. This aligns with recent US coverage for Disney+/Hulu releases.[3][5]
- UK: Disney+ is the official home for Rivals in the UK, with new episodes rolling out weekly on Disney+ starting May 15, 2026 (season 2), and continuing in subsequent weeks.[4][5]
- Australia: Disney+ is the streaming home for Rivals in Australia as part of the Disney+ lineup, with availability tied to Disney+ in most recent regions.[2][5]
- Canada and other regions: Disney+ typically carries Rivals in several Commonwealth markets, with Hulu serving the US; availability can vary by country and may require a Disney+/Hulu bundle where applicable.[2][3]
Quick guide by region (practical takeaway)
- If you’re in the US: Hulu for current season; keep an eye on Disney+/Hulu bundle options for access to both seasons.
- If you’re in the UK or Australia: Disney+ is your primary platform for Rivals, with new episodes released on a weekly cadence for season 2.
- If you’re elsewhere: Disney+ is commonly the go-to, but verify local availability on Disney+ and any regional streaming guides.
