The streaming giant has yet to confirm a release date for the programme but has already begun drumming up excitement.

In a synopsis to preview the series, Disney wrote: "The story is set against the backdrop of the drama, excess, and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite of 1980s England.

"In the fictional county of Rutshire, a long-standing rivalry between two powerful men is about to boil over.

"Alex Hassell plays dashing ex-Olympian, Tory Member of Parliament and incorrigible rake, the dangerously charismatic Rupert Campbell-Black.

"David Tennant plays Rupert's single-mindedly ambitious and egotistical Rutshire neighbour Lord Tony Baddingham, controller of Corinium Television.

"A long-simmering power struggle between them threatens to boil over when the two men lock horns over the future of Corinium."

Sex and scandal are set to be at the heart of the series with the show's trailer featuring a series of eye-popping and suggestive moments.

The Sun exclusively told how Danny and Emily were set to strip off for the show over a year ago.

We revealed how Emily will strip off for a naked tennis match and sizzling sex scenes with two A-list actors in a new role.

One of the show's stars previously admitted how the programme had made use of 30% of the world's intimacy coordinators for the romp-fuelled show.
