Overview
- The new run, which begins Friday, May 15, drops three episodes at launch on Disney+ and Hulu before rolling out the next three weekly.
- Disney expanded the season to 12 episodes and split it into two halves, with the final six due later in 2026.
- The story resumes the Corinium-versus-Venturer feud as Tony Baddingham returns to target his rivals through scandal against a late-1980s backdrop that includes the 1987 UK election.
- Producers frame the season as an homage to Dame Jilly Cooper, who died in October 2025, saying she reviewed and approved scripts and that fan-pleasing Easter eggs remain.
- Early reviews describe a gleefully over-the-top ride with strong turns from David Tennant and an enlarged cast that adds Hayley Atwell and Rupert Everett.
