‘Young Royals’ Season 2: Everything We Know So Far

The Swedish Netflix show Young Royals is almost back with a second season — finally! Season 1 of the LGBTQ+ drama followed the story of the fictional Prince Wilhelm. After a violent video of him was leaked, Wilhelm was sent to the prestigious boarding school Hillerska. While navigating his new boarding school life drama, a romance began between Wilhelm and fellow student Simon.

Young Royals first released on Netflix on July 1, 2021. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news of the follow-up season after it was renewed for Season 2 last September.

Now we finally have answers, a trailer, and release date!

Young Royals Trailer:

The trailer shows us what the aftermath of a first heartbreak is like between two people (but not all of us can say we’ve dated a prince.) August is facing the consequences of his actions, Wilhelm is struggling with the responsibilities of his royal title, and there’s trust issues all around. Wilhelm says at one point, “I could be free.” Is he willing to sacrifice his family for love?

When Does Young Royals Release on Netflix?

Young Royals Season 2 is arriving on November 1! Fans hungry for more can watch the first four minutes of the series that Netflix posted. We can expect there to be around the same amount of episodes as Season 1. Netflix plans start at $9.99 a month.

Who Is In The Young Royals Cast?

The main cast returns for Season 2 with Edvin Ryding returns as Prince Wilhelm along, Omar Rudberg, and Malte Gårdinger. We see a glimpse of a new character Marcus (played by Tommy Wättring) whose parents rent the stables to Hillerska. Will Marcus add to or ease the tension around Wilhelm and Simon? Or could he possibly be a love interest for Sara?

Young Royals Season 2 Synopsis

Back to school time! A new year is beginning at Hillerska and the fate of Wilhelm’s and Simon’s relationship was left unclear in the last finale. Though they both are forefront in each other’s minds, there is still a lot to resolve such as how Wilhelm’s royal status impacts their relationship. Resentment is still held by Wilhelm against August for leaking the video of him and Simon. August also seems to be dealing with some pretty heavy issues of his own. By the looks of it, we’re in for another drama-filled season. Will Wilhelm choose his heart, or his duty?
