Netflix has confirmed that Young Royals Season 3 is happening and will serve as the show’s final installment. The American streaming giant made the renewal announcement on December 14, 2022, alongside a photo of Simon and Wilhelm holding hands. As it's the last season, viewers should also finally find out if Simon and Wilhelm are actually endgame or not!
For starters, Young Royals is a Netflix-exclusive Swedish teen drama about a fictional royal named Wilhelm of Sweden, who attends Hillerska, an elite boarding school. His romantic relationship with a male classmate named Simon Eriksson and the numerous dramatic events propel the narrative. More adventures await for our favorite characters in the upcoming Young Royals Season 3.
Season 1 was a tremendous success, rating in the top 10 in 12 countries and being streamed for over 9.8 million hours globally. It was also the tenth most streamed non-English language series on Netflix globally in its first week. Season 2, on the other hand, rated among the top 10 in 26 countries, was streamed for over 18 million hours and was the third most streamed non-English language series on Netflix globally during the same week. As fans await more details, here is everything we know so far about the forthcoming Young Royals Season 3.
Young Royals Season 3 Potential Release Date: When is it coming to Netflix?
The first two seasons were separated by nearly a year and a half, but now that COVID-19 restrictions appear to be a thing of the past, Young Royals Season 3 could arrive sooner than Season 2. If so, we could look at a release date in the Winter of 2023.
Obviously, we are not crystal ball experts, so the drama could return to our screens sooner or later than anticipated. However, fans would be very astonished if the show was abruptly canceled. With this cliffhanger, there is so much more to investigate in Young Royals Season 3, which has a devoted fanbase.
Young Royals Season 3 Cast: Who are the actors starring in the upcoming season?
The series focuses on the relationship between Wilhelm and Simon, so we anticipate the return of Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg in Young Royals Season 3. In addition, Malte Grninger, who portrays August of Arnas, the pair's rival and Wilhelm's second cousin, is also expected to make a return, alongside Frida Argento as Sara, sister of Simon and Nikita Uggla as Felice.
Other stars expected to appear in Young Royals Season 3 include Leonard Terfelt as Micke, Simon and Sara's father, and Ingela Olsson as Miss Anette Lilja, Hillerska's headmistress. Of course, the show would not be complete without Inti Zamora Sobrado as Ayub, Simon's friend from Bjärstad, Beri Gerwise as Rosh, Simon's friend from Bjärstad, Pernilla August as Queen Kristina of Sweden, Carmen Gloria Pérez as Linda, Simon and Sara's mother.
Ivar Forsling, who plays Prince Erik, is a crucial cast member who will likely not return for Young Royals Season 3. After his death at the conclusion of the first season, Wilhelm's older brother only appeared in the occasional flashback during season two, and this is likely to become even less frequent in season three as time passes.
It is worth noting that no cast members have been verified to return for Young Royals Season 3 as of yet. Obviously, the narrative will determine which characters return, but viewers hope to see all of our favorite characters return. Fans could also expect more names to be added to the cast in the coming months.
Young Royals Season 3 Plot: What is the upcoming season about?
The primary focus of the first two installments before Young Royals Season 3 was the covert romance between Simon and Prince Wilhelm of Sweden. But after Wilhelm's betrayal at the first season's conclusion, this love became much more complicated, and Simon even dated another man to get over Wil.
In the Season 2 finale, just as he eventually agrees to be Wilhelm's secret, Prince Wilhelm decides to reveal that he was in the leaked sex tape the entire time. By admitting this, he also acknowledges his sexuality and his affection for Simon on a global scale. Simon is as dumbfounded as all the royal advisors, who are sputtering at this unexpected turn of events.
Regardless of what transpires, it appears that Simon and Wilhelm will be able to experience pleasure together in public. In addition, Sara has just identified August as the person who created and then intentionally leaked the s*x video in the first place. Fans will likely see what the future holds for August in Young Royals Season 3.
During a talk with Digital Spy, series actor Omar Rudberg revealed what he hopes to see in Young Royals Season 3. He shared:
"That is so hard because it can go in so many different directions. I have a lot of ideas."
Intriguingly, Omar disclosed that these concepts will have a direct impact on the show's destiny in Young Royals Season 3. The actor told the entertainment news outlet:
"Me and Lisa Ambjörn, the head writer, we want to sit down and talk about what we see and what we feel, and the ideas, and what's actually going to happen in the story. I feel like it was a lot clearer for me when it came to season two," Rudberg continued. "It was like, 'This happened in season one. This can happen in season two.' With season three, it's like, 'Now we're talking. Now it's getting real.'"
