Rivals season 2 soundtrack: All the songs featured in Disney+ drama

After an emotional mid-season cliffhanger, Rivals is back on our screens for the rest of its season 2 episodes.

It's all going on in Rutshire, with the new episodes dealing with not only the fallout from the show's major twist, but also the renewed charge for control over the franchise war. Will Venturer or Corinium come out on top? Well, that's what tuning in weekly for the subsequent episodes shall reveal.

For now, we're reunited with the main cast, which is headed up by the likes of David Tennant, Alex Hassell (The Boys) and Aidan Turner (Poldark) as we see them all deal with heightened emotions, matters of the heart and revenge.

Since its first episode, the '80s-set series has continued to provide an on-the-nose representation of the era, with a soundtrack to match – and its new episodes are no different. With the likes of Whitney Houston, Phil Collins and George Michael all peppered throughout those first new instalments, Rivals proves to not just be a treat for the eyes, but also for the ears.

But what are the songs included in each episode of the series? Thankfully, we've rounded them up for you so read on to find out.
