The Royals Season 2 OTT Release Update: When and where to expect return of Bhumi Pednekar & Ishaan Khatter’s show

The Royals Season 2 OTT Release Update: Netflix's glitzy Indian rom-com is officially returning for a second season. The streamer confirmed the renewal on May 28, 2025, just weeks after the show’s debut on May 9. While there’s no confirmed release date yet, Netflix teased that Season 2 is “coming soon”.

When can we expect The Royals Season 2?

As of now, Netflix has not announced an official release date for Season 2. However, given that Season 1 premiered on May 9, 2025, and the renewal was announced on May 28, 2025, it's reasonable to anticipate that Season 2 could arrive in mid to late 2026. Production timelines for Netflix series typically span several months, so fans might expect a release window around the same time next year.

What was The Royals Season 1 about?

Set in the fictional princely state of Morpur, The Royals follows Prince Aviraaj “Fizzy” Singh (Ishaan Khatter), who inherits a crumbling palace and a mountain of debt after his father’s death. Enter Sophia Shekhar (Bhumi Pednekar), a sharp, self-made CEO of a startup called Work Potato. She proposes transforming the palace into a luxury bed-and-breakfast to save the royal family from financial ruin.

Their business partnership quickly turns into a romantic entanglement, complicated by family secrets, exes, and palace politics. The season ends with a bombshell: Fizzy is revealed to be the illegitimate son of Maharani Padmaja (Sakshi Tanwar), throwing the royal lineage into chaos.

What to expect in The Royals Season 2?

While plot details are under wraps, the creators have hinted at a more dramatic and extravagant second season. Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, the show’s creators, described Season 1 as a “love letter to the romcom genre” and promised that Season 2 will be “bigger, bolder, and even more fabulous,” with more “fire, feisty banter, and a whole lot of drama”.

Given the cliffhanger ending of Season 1, viewers can anticipate a deeper dive into the complexities of royal succession, family dynamics, and the evolving relationship between Fizzy and Sophia.
