Fans of the Indian romantic comedy-drama series ‘The Royals‘ can rejoice as Netflix has officially announced a second season of the show. The renewal comes just weeks after the series, starring Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar, debuted on the streaming platform on May 9, 2025, and quickly garnered global attention.
The first season of ‘The Royals’ followed the story of Aviraaj “Fizzy” Singh (Ishaan Khatter), the heir to the fictional princely state of Morpur, who forms an unlikely bond with Sophia Shekhar (Bhumi Pednekar), a driven CEO who proposes turning the decaying royal palace into a luxury bed-and-breakfast. What begins as a business arrangement soon blossoms into a romance, complicated by family secrets and the clash of their very different worlds. The first season concluded with a significant cliffhanger, as Fizzy discovered he is the illegitimate son of Maharani Padmaja (Sakshi Tanwar), throwing the royal lineage into turmoil.
Creators Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy have expressed their excitement about the second season, hinting at even more drama and extravagance. “Season 1 of ‘The Royals’ was our love letter to the rom-com genre… That struck a chord and trended globally. This told us just one thing: we had to come back for more,” they stated, promising that Season 2 will be “bigger, bolder, and even more fabulous,” filled with “more fire, more feisty banter, and yes, a whole lot of drama.”
While Netflix has not yet announced a specific release date for the second season, they have teased that it is “coming soon.” Given the production timelines for such series, it’s plausible that ‘The Royals’ Season 2 could arrive on Netflix in mid to late 2026.
The announcement of the second season has been met with enthusiasm from fans who were captivated by the blend of romance, ambition, and betrayal in the first season. With the first season achieving global top 10 status for non-English TV shows on Netflix across 58 countries and holding the number one spot in India, the return of ‘The Royals’ is highly anticipated.
