‘Young Royals’ Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix

Coming of-age Swedish-language series ‘Young Royals’ will be coming back for a third season, we confirmed with our source this week and the official announcement from Netflix is just around the corner. The six-episode season 2 of ‘Young Royals’ premiered on November 1 and was again loved by the audience as well as the critics.

I also hear that the third season is likely to be the final season, however, I am not able to confirm it yet, but we will be finding it out soon. In terms of viewership, Young Royals Season 2 hasn't made a big improvement and it remains underrated and under-watched just like the first season. Although Netflix has promoted it more than quite a several other shows from the same category.

In Season 2 Prince Wilhelm returns to Hillerska with an ambition to exact revenge on August (Malte Gårdinger), his cousin who leaked the scandalous video. August is sorry, but the young prince isn’t taking any apologies. He’s determined to make his cousin’s life a living hell — and hoping to regain Simon’s trust in the process. Little does he know, however, that he’s about to endanger his monarchy. On the other hand, Simon is ready to move on. He’s hitting the gym and focusing on himself. The first season ended with the leaked video of Wilhelm and Simon by August.

At the end of Season 2, Simon ends his relationship with Marcus. August persuades Alexander to accept responsibility for the leaked video, claiming that if Simon goes to the police, he will reveal Simon sold him drugs. When Wilhelm threatens August with a shotgun, Sara reveals that she told him Simon was about to call the cops. Simon decides not to go to the police station in order to save his mother from embarrassment. Simon confesses his feelings for Wilhelm before the school's anniversary gala. Wilhelm delivers a heartfelt speech at the gala about being open and not keeping secrets, and publicly admits it was him in the video. Sara reports to the police about August.
