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. Expected faces of The Royals Season 2 The main cast is expected to reprise their roles: Ishaan Khatter as Maharaj Aviraaj 'Fizzy' Singh, Morpur Bhumi Pednekar as Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, CEO of Work Potato Sakshi Tanwar as Maharani Padmaja 'Paddy' Singh, Morpur Zeenat Aman as Rajmata Maji Saheba Bhagyashree Devi Nora Fatehi as Ayesha Dhondi, Fizzy's ex Vihaan Samat as Yuvaraj Digvijay 'Diggy' Singh, Morpur Dino Morea as Nawab Salauddin 'Salad' Khan, Alsipur Milind Soman as former Maharaj Yuvanath Singh, Morpur The Royals is directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, with writing credits to Neha Veena Sharma, Vishnu Sinha, and Iti Agarwal.

Bhumi Pednekar shuts down trolling targeting her lips amidst 'The Royal' backlash: 'People are paying lakhs...'
Bhumi Pednekar shuts down trolling targeting her lips amidst 'The Royal' backlash: 'People are paying lakhs...' Netflix's latest romantic dramedy, The Royals, has been creating a stir since its release. The show portrays its fresh take on love, royalty, and self-discovery. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Morpur, the eight-episode series has intrigued viewers with its quirky blend of romance and royal nostalgia. While the Netflix show quickly grabbed eyeballs, it has been receiving mixed reviews. From its vibrant aesthetics and Ishan Khattar's strong screen presence, especially his shirtless scenes which is being considered the main plot/heartbeat of the show, many are talking about Ishaan's fit look. On the other hand, Bhumi Pednekar, who is playing the lead opposite Ishaan, has found herself at the centre of social media scrutiny, not for her performance, but for her appearance, especially her lips. Amidst the ongoing chatter, a 2017 interview clip of Bhumi resurfaced online, where she had firmly responded to similar remarks about her looks. Addressing the comments about her lips being 'too big,' Bhumi had confidently stated, 'You know, the most strange thing somebody told me was that your lips are too big. I said—since when is that a problem? People are paying lakhs to get that done. They can say the most bizarre things. You should just be aware of who you are and not care.' The Royals follows the journey of Aviraaj and Sophia, portrayed by Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar, as they come together to restore a decaying royal haveli into a luxurious boutique homestay. What begins as a business venture gradually blossoms into a tale of flirtation, conflict, and emotional growth. The series wraps up with loose threads tied neatly, leaving viewers hoping for a second season. The show boasts a star-studded ensemble with veterans and familiar faces like Zeenat Aman, Chunky Panday, Sakshi Tanwar, Milind Soman, Nora Fatehi, and Dino Morea. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, and penned by Neha Veena Sharma, The Royals is produced by Pritish Nandy Communications and has been applauded for blending heritage with modern storytelling. Despite the polarising reviews, The Royals has made its mark. And Bhumi Pednekar, as always, continues to silence trolls with grace and authenticity, on and off screen.
