Despite David's character Lord Tony Baddingham seemingly killed in the season 1 finale, the Doctor Who star has been spotted filming scenes with his co-stars, confirming that he'll be back on screens. Set in the fictional county of Rutshire, in the 1980's, the show revolves around the intense rivalry between Lord Tony Baddingham and Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell).

Filming onset, the actor was seen 'having a Mare' riding horseback on location in Gloucestershire. In the snaps, Danny could be seen on a horse, wearing a white jockey outfit and a blue helmet - and of course, his signature Freddie Jones moustache. The bromance with former Olympic showjumper Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) was in full force as the pair were seen in matching jockey outfits. Despite the pictures not giving too much away, Danny didn't hold back on teasing the new season. Speaking at the winner's press conference at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards, Danny told fans that the second series "is so much better than the first" at the winner's press conference at tonight's 2025 BAFTA Television Awards. "It's a beautiful job for me [and] I love working with Katherine [Parkinson]." The good news doesn't stop there. Season two will be even longer than its predecessor with a total of 12 episodes compared to the eight in series one. Speaking on the new series, Executive producer and Rivals author Dame Jilly Cooper said: 'I'm utterly sex-static filming for the second season is upon us. It was magical working with Happy Prince and Disney+ on the first season and seeing everyone fall head over heels for my beloved characters. 'I'm delighted to be able to work with them again and for everyone to see what further mischief they all get up to!' Disney+ has promised in audiences will be getting 'even more wit, desire, and dramatic twist' as 'power struggles escalate and rivalries deepen" and "ambition drives every move' with loyalties are pushed to the 'edge'. The shots of Danny come shortly after he attended his daughter Dani's wedding to West Ham star, Jarod Bowen. The pair tied the knot in a stunning ceremony at the five-star Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire. In the lead up to the big day, Danny told the Mirror: 'I have met every single boyfriend that has walked through my door - and then she brings home the West Ham captain. 'I have gone from the lying scum, and I hate them, to a man who I would not mind to tonguing myself. A strong man. If he lent in I would put my lips on this geezer."
