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). Former EastEnders star Danny Dyer, who plays self-made successful electronics businessman Freddie Jones will also be returning to season 2. 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."

Damian Lewis and children make rare family appearance after Helen McCrory's death
Damian Lewis and children make rare family appearance after Helen McCrory's death The Wolf Hall star was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2025 BAFTA Awards and was supported by his two children. Actress Helen McCrory dies aged 52 Damian Lewis made a touching appearance at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards on Sunday, 11 May, accompanied by his two children, Manon, 18, and Gulliver, 17. This public outing comes four years after the death of his wife, Helen McCrory. The 54-year-old Wolf Hall actor was in the running for Best Supporting Actor for his role as King Henry VIII in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, the eagerly awaited sequel to the acclaimed original series. Despite not winning the award, his heartening presence with his seldom-seen children drew attention. Looking dapper in a traditional black suit and slim tie, Damian made a striking impression on the red carpet. His daughter Manon exuded elegance in a black halter-neck dress, complemented by black suede heels and a gold bag adding a hint of sparkle. Gulliver, bearing a strong resemblance to his father, mirrored him in a well-tailored suit and white shirt. This event is one of the few times the family has appeared publicly together since Helen's sad death in April 2021, after a private battle with breast cancer. She was just 52 years old, reports the Express. Damian said their children had Helen's 'fearlessness, wit, curiosity, talent and beauty' (Image: (Image: Getty) ) Article continues below The Peaky Blinders actress and Damian had been married for 14 years before she sadly died, with Damian openly discussing the pain of her loss and the resilience she instilled in their children. In a heartfelt tribute published in The Times, he revealed that his wife had expressed her wish for him to find love again. He wrote: "She's left our beautiful children, Manon and Gully, too early, but they have been prepared for life. They have in them the fearlessness, wit, curiosity, talent and beauty of their mother. She has exhorted us to be courageous and not afraid." Damian Lewis, with his two children and his father at the TV BAFTAs (Image: (Image: Getty) ) He further penned: "As she said repeatedly to the children, 'Don't be sad, because even though I'm about to snuff it, I've lived the life I wanted to'." Their last joint public outing was at a Burberry event during London Fashion Week earlier in the year; however, the significance of Sunday's BAFTAs red carpet appearance was amplified given its focus on British TV. Helen and Damian were married for 14 years (Image: (Image: Getty) ) Following the demise of Anne Boleyn, Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light returns with a more tempestuous Henry VIII portrayed by Lewis, while Mark Rylance continues his acclaimed turn as Thomas Cromwell, ensnared in treacherous palace politics and struggling to retain his influence. Away from the camera, Damian is known for his understated commitment to family. In a discussion on the Dish podcast last autumn, he offered a glimpse into managing teenaged children, along with anecdotes of culinary faux pas. Article continues below "I do cook. I like it," he disclosed, only to reveal that his daughter had since relegated him from cooking duties. "She's vegetarian and very particular. I bought her an air fryer - now she's the chef." The Bafta TV Awards aired on BBC One Sunday 11 May at 7pm and is available to stream on iPlayer.

Damian Lewis makes rare appearance with kids at Baftas after late wife's death
Damian Lewis was joined by his two children, Manon and Gulliver at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards. Damian Lewis made a touching appearance at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards on Sunday, 11 May, accompanied by his two children, Manon, 18, and Gulliver, 17. This family outing comes just four years after the death of his wife, Helen McCrory. The star of Wolf Hall, aged 54, was up for Best Supporting Actor for his role as King Henry VIII in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, the eagerly awaited sequel to the award-winning original. Despite not winning the award, his heartwarming presence with his children captured everyone's attention. Looking dapper in a classic black suit and skinny tie, the actor was a sight to behold on the red carpet. His daughter Manon exuded effortless elegance in a black halter-neck gown, complemented with black suede heels and a hint of glitz from a gold bag. Meanwhile, Gulliver, who strikingly resembles his father, matched him in a tailored suit and white shirt. This event is one of the few public appearances the trio have made together since Helen's sad death in April 2021, after a private battle with breast cancer. She was just 52 years old when she died, reports the Express. Damian, who was married to the Peaky Blinders actress for 14 years, has openly discussed the pain of losing her and the resilience she instilled in their children. In a heartfelt tribute published in The Times, he revealed that his wife had wished for him to find love again. He wrote poignantly: "She's left our beautiful children, Manon and Gully, too early, but they have been prepared for life.

The actor added: "As she said repeatedly to the children, 'Don't be sad, because even though I'm about to snuff it, I've lived the life I wanted to'." The family's last public outing was at a Burberry event during London Fashion Week earlier this year, but their appearance on the red carpet at Sunday's BAFTA ceremony was even more touching as it celebrated British TV—a realm both Damian and Helen have greatly influenced. In Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, we see Damian portrayal of Henry VIII following Anne Boleyn's execution. Mark Rylance returns as Thomas Cromwell, skilfully manoeuvring through treacherous court politics to maintain his grip on power. Away from the cameras, he has been dedicating himself to his family. He revealed an intimate glimpse into his home life during an interview on the Dish podcast last autumn where he discussed raising teenagers and kitchen blunders. "I do cook. I like it," he shared, with a touch of humour revealing that his vegetarian daughter is now head chef thanks to a new air fryer, effectively banning him from cooking duties. The Bafta TV Awards aired on BBC One Sunday 11 May at 7pm and is available to stream on iPlayer.
