The second season of LGBTQ+ drama Young Royals has dropped on Netflix<\/a>, with die-hard fans already busy bingeing their way through the six new episodes.<\/p>\n

The series follows teenage heir to the throne Prince Wilhelm (Edvin Ryding) as he navigates a prestigious private school called Hillerska, where he falls in love with fellow pupil Simon (Omar Rudberg).<\/p>\n

They are forced to keep their relationship a secret, but when their sex tape is leaked, they find themselves at the centre of a media circus which ultimately drives them apart.<\/p>\n

Young Royals season 2 revisits their relationship weeks later and sees Wilhelm attempt to mend the bridges that were burned in the last semester. Will there be another chapter for this forbidden romance?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything we know so far about a possible Young Royals season 3.<\/p>\n

Will there be Young Royals season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Netflix is yet to announce whether Young Royals has been renewed for season 3 or cancelled, but we can expect to hear a verdict in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

As we have seen, the streaming service closely monitors viewership of its original shows over the first month, with total minutes logged and completion rates being key factors in whether a show gets picked up.<\/p>\n

As such, if you\u2019re a big Young Royals fan and are keen to see more, the best thing you can do is help spread the word that new episodes are out.<\/p>\n

If Young Royals were to be renewed for a third season, we could realistically expect it to drop in autumn 2023<\/strong>, with the gap between the first two being just over a year.<\/p>

Who could be in the cast of a potential Young Royals season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If Young Royals were to be renewed for season 3, it would make sense for series leads Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg to return as star-crossed lovers Prince Wilhelm and Simon Eriksson.<\/p>\n

We could also see more from their shared rival August of \u00c5rn\u00e4s (played by Malte G\u00e5rdinger), second cousin to Prince Wilhelm and prominent figure at Hillerska.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the Young Royals cast are Frida Argento as Simon\u2019s sister Sara, and Nikita Uggla as fellow student Felice, while prolific Swedish actor Pernilla August (The Phantom Menace) plays Queen Kristina.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s open to speculation exactly where the story of Young Royals could go next if the series returns, but the show will have to pick up from the dramatic events of the season 2 finale.<\/p>\n

The focus is likely to remain squarely on Prince Wilhelm and Simon, as viewers have become so heavily invested in their romance over the episodes we\u2019ve seen so far.<\/p>\n

The first season asked Wilhelm to make a choice between love and duty, with that theme likely to continue running through any future storylines as the young heir is faced with the realities of being a public figure.<\/p>\n

Is there a Young Royals season 3 trailer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not yet! We\u2019ll update this page once we know the fate of Young Royals on Netflix, and the moment any new footage drops.<\/p>\n

For now, why not refresh your memory with the season 1 trailer?<\/p>\n
