Craving more Young Royals? Good news: Netflix announced today that production has officially begun on the third season of the beloved Swedish LGBTQ+ romance series.
For the uninitiated, Young Royals follows the story of Prince Wilhelm (Edvin Ryding), a rebellious (ahem) young royal, who finds himself shipped off to a strict private school called Hillerska after causing a scandal by participating in a highly publicized fight. At first, Wilhelm rebels against being forced to attend the school, but that all changes as soon as he strikes up a romance with his classmate Simon (Omar Rudberg).
Swoon.

While this third season will also be the final one for the series, there is a silver lining. Rather than drag the story out or simply cancel it outright, Netflix opted to let the series go out on its own terms and wrap up its story. That’s something many other LGBTQ+ series on the streamer have not been afforded — and fans have voiced their frustration time and again. (*Cough* Warrior Nun *Cough* First Kill). Thankfully, that’s not Young Royals’ fate, and we will get to see if Wilhelm and Simon get the happily ever after fans are hoping for.
Netflix shared the news that production has officially kicked off on the season with a fun behind-the-scenes video of the cast reuniting and doing a script read-through.
While the video gives away zero plot points, it's still fun to see the cast enthusiastically back in the same room — and Ryding promises that “the first episode is going to be wow!”
We can’t wait.
The first two seasons of Young Royals are streaming now on Netflix.
