The series, which explores the hidden struggles of India's modern-day royals dives into the financial hurdles and the pressures behind the palatial facades.
Season 1 ended on a jaw-dropping note when Prince Aviraaj learned he wasn't the true heir, and a public announcement revealed that the real Maharaja of Morpur is gay, with him and his wife maintaining an open marriage. With such a dramatic finale, fans are eager to see how Season 2 will raise the stakes, bringing even more drama, intrigue, and unexpected twists.
What To Expect Next
Season 2 of 'The Royals' is set to amplify the intrigue — exploring the fallout of Aviraaj's revelation and how the royal family navigates the shockwaves of public scandal.

Other Shows Returning
Joining The Royals in the comeback lineup are two beloved shows, Black Warrant and Maamla Legal Hai. Both series have carved out dedicated fan bases, praised for their engaging storytelling and relatable themes.
While Black Warrant keeps viewers on the edge with intense action and legal drama,
Maamla Legal Hai
delivers a lighter, more humorous take on everyday legal battles and social issues. The two shows are expected to continue building on their winning formulas, with fresh cases, dynamic characters, and tightly woven plots.
ETimes gave 'The Royals' a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review reads, 'The Royals had all the ingredients for a compelling drama — royalty, ambition, romance, and reinvention — but it ends up feeling predictable and uneven.
Despite a few strong performances and impressive visuals, the series doesn't dig deep enough into its themes, leaving much of its potential unexplored.'

Bhool Chuk Maaf OTT release date: When and where to FINALLY watch Rajkummar Rao-Wamiqa Gabbi starrer movie online
Bhool Chuk Maaf OTT release date: The sci-fi romantic comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf, starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, is finally ready to hit the digital streaming platforms. This OTT debut comes after a controversy and a ₹ 60 crore lawsuit over its theatrical release. The makers had earlier decided to ditch the big screen due to the 'heightened security drills across the nation' amid Operation Sindoor. Bhool Chuk Maaf, which hit the theatres on May 23, will finally begin streaming online on Amazon Prime Video from June 6 onwards. The Rajkummar Rao starrer will premiere on digital platforms just two weeks after its theatrical release, significantly shorter than the industry's usual eight-week window. Maddock Films announced on May 8—just a day after Operation Sindoor, triggered by the Pahalgam terror attack—that it, along with Amazon MGM Studios, decided to 'bring our family entertainer, Bhool Chuk Maaf, directly to your homes on May 16—only on Prime Video, worldwide.' However, PVR Inox sued the makers, alleging a breach of contract and demanding that the film be released in theatres first. They also pointed out that the agreement included an 8-week window before the movie could be streamed online. Bhool Chuk Maaf has earned almost ₹ 60 crore at the Indian box office in 10 days, making it the 7th biggest Hindi hit of the year. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie has earned a total of ₹ 58.85 crore since it released in theatres on May 23. The Amazon Prime Video description states, 'Ranjan, stuck in a time loop on his wedding day, must fulfil a forgotten promise to escape it. As he sacrifices his dream job for another's greater good, the film highlights compassion over ambition, reminding us of the power of kindness in a self-centred society.' Bhool Chuk Maaf stars Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi, Seema Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra, Raghubir Yadav, and Zakir Hussain in key roles.
