Netflix’s hit LGBTQ+ drama “Young Royals” is gearing up for a royal finale in its third season, set to premiere in March 2024, and it promises to be a heart-tugging affair!
After two seasons of scandalous twists, the Swedish teen drama “Young Royals” is making a grand return for its third and final act on Netflix. This series, which has been a crowning achievement for LGBTQ+ representation in teen dramas, focuses on the tender yet tumultuous romance between Prince Wilhelm of Sweden (played by Edvin Ryding) and his boarding school heartthrob Simon Eriksson (Omar Rudberg).
The upcoming season, eagerly awaited since the second season’s finale, promises to delve deeper into the love story of Wilmon (a ship name for Wilhelm and Simon). As the previous season wrapped up with Wilhelm bravely admitting to being in the scandalous video and Simon confessing his unwavering love, fans are holding their breath for what’s next for this royal couple. Will Wilhelm choose love over the crown, or will the shackles of royal duties and expectations pull him away from Simon?
All the main characters are returning to give this tale the send-off it deserves. The central cast includes Edvin Ryding, Omar Rudberg, Malte Gårdinger (August), Frida Argento (Sara), and Nikita Uggla (Felice). They are supported by a talented ensemble that has brought the rich and complex world of Hillerska to life.
The show, renowned for its authentic portrayal of teen issues and its respectful handling of LGBTQ+ themes, has been a beacon of representation. It’s not just a drama about young love but a story that resonates with struggles for identity, acceptance, and the courage to be true to oneself, regardless of societal norms.
