The final season of Netflix\u2019s LGBTQ+ drama Young Royals<\/a> is just around the corner, with fans bracing themselves for an emotional goodbye to Prince Wilhelm (Edvin Ryding) and Simon Eriksson (Omar Rudberg).<\/p>\n

The two characters have been on quite the journey since we first encountered them, with viewers now waiting with bated breath to discover if there\u2019s a much-deserved happy ending for them.<\/p>\n

Of course, many will also be lamenting the fact that the show is ending with its third season, with the Swedish drama becoming such an international hit that it surely could have sustained a couple more.<\/p>\n

However, co-creator Lisa Ambj\u00f6rn has been clear that this was her plan from the beginning, as opposed to a premature axing (an unfortunate fate that has befallen several other LGBTQ+ shows in recent years).<\/p>\n

Read on for more on why Young Royals is ending.<\/p>\n

Why won\u2019t there be a Young Royals season 4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While there was an outcry when Young Royals season 3 was confirmed to be the last instalment, this initial backlash dissipated to some extent when it became clear that it was the wish of the creator.<\/p>\n

At the time of the show\u2019s renewal, Ambj\u00f6rn told Gay Times<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve always imagined Young Royals being told in three parts, and because of the fans\u2019 dedication to our story, we get to tell the last one.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an emotional Instagram<\/a> post, she elaborated on this statement, reaffirming that she has always known \u201chow it all was gonna end\u201d and that her original vision is exactly what we\u2019re getting.<\/p>\n

The screenwriter said: \u201cIf someone had told me in 2019, when this little universe was just a tiny idea that had been planted in my imagination and started to grow and consume my every waking thought, that it would turn out to be a global success saga spanning over three seasons \u2013 shaping new talent both in front of and behind the camera and creating a fandom that would take on a life of its own and actually change peoples life\u2019s for the better \u2013 I would have said TOLD YOU SO.\u201d<\/p>

She continued: \u201cNo, [just kidding], it\u2019s actually beyond anything any of us could have ever dreamed or hoped for, and it\u2019s all thanks to you \u2013 our viewers. Your commitment and love for YR has given us the honour and privilege of getting to see our story through.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause one thing I did know in 2019 was how it all was gonna end. And now my friends, it\u2019s coming. This season is the last one.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final episode of Young Royals is due on Netflix on Monday 18th March 2024<\/strong>, dropping one week later than the rest of the season \u2013 the tension is real!<\/p>\n
