The Royals Season 2 OTT Release Update: When and where to expect return of Bhumi Pednekar & Ishaan Khatter's show

The Royals Season 2 OTT Release Update: Netflix's glitzy Indian rom-com is officially returning for a second season. The streamer confirmed the renewal on May 28, 2025, just weeks after the show's debut on May 9. While there's no confirmed release date yet, Netflix teased that Season 2 is 'coming soon'.
When can we expect The Royals Season 2?
As of now, Netflix has not announced an official release date for Season 2. However, given that Season 1 premiered on May 9, 2025, and the renewal was announced on May 28, 2025, it's reasonable to anticipate that Season 2 could arrive in mid to late 2026. Production timelines for Netflix series typically span several months, so fans might expect a release window around the same time next year.
What was The Royals Season 1 about?
Set in the fictional princely state of Morpur, The Royals follows Prince Aviraaj 'Fizzy' Singh (Ishaan Khatter), who inherits a crumbling palace and a mountain of debt after his father's death. Enter Sophia Shekhar (Bhumi Pednekar), a sharp, self-made CEO of a startup called Work Potato. She proposes transforming the palace into a luxury bed-and-breakfast to save the royal family from financial ruin.
Their business partnership quickly turns into a romantic entanglement, complicated by family secrets, exes, and palace politics. The season ends with a bombshell: Fizzy is revealed to be the illegitimate son of Maharani Padmaja (Sakshi Tanwar), throwing the royal lineage into chaos.
What to expect in The Royals Season 2?
While plot details are under wraps, the creators have hinted at a more dramatic and extravagant second season. Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, the show's creators, described Season 1 as a 'love letter to the romcom genre' and promised that Season 2 will be 'bigger, bolder, and even more fabulous,' with more 'fire, feisty banter, and a whole lot of drama'.
Given the cliffhanger ending of Season 1, viewers can anticipate a deeper dive into the complexities of royal succession, family dynamics, and the evolving relationship between Fizzy and Sophia.
Expected faces of The Royals Season 2
The main cast is expected to reprise their roles:
Ishaan Khatter as Maharaj Aviraaj 'Fizzy' Singh, Morpur
Bhumi Pednekar as Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, CEO of Work Potato
Sakshi Tanwar as Maharani Padmaja 'Paddy' Singh, Morpur
Zeenat Aman as Rajmata Maji Saheba Bhagyashree Devi
Nora Fatehi as Ayesha Dhondi, Fizzy's ex
Vihaan Samat as Yuvaraj Digvijay 'Diggy' Singh, Morpur
Dino Morea as Nawab Salauddin 'Salad' Khan, Alsipur
Milind Soman as former Maharaj Yuvanath Singh, Morpur
The Royals is directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, with writing credits to Neha Veena Sharma, Vishnu Sinha, and Iti Agarwal. It is produced by Pritish Nandy Communications.

‘Don't do this': Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan slams LinkedIn user flexing AI mega event as work experience

In an age of curated online personas and embellished resumes, Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan has called out what he sees as a troubling trend—treating brief event participation as serious work experience. Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator, slammed a viral LinkedIn profile that listed attending a 2-day event as work experience(Instagram/garrytan) (Also read: Woman behind viral LinkedIn post with fake Indian-origin CEO claims she was blackmailed) Tan reacted to a screenshot of a LinkedIn profile shared on X by a user named rkay, who posted it with the caption: 'bro people who put this in their linkedin are ngmi'—short for 'not gonna make it.' The screenshot showed someone listing their attendance at a two-day Y Combinator AI Startup School event as formal professional experience. The LinkedIn entry included exaggerated accomplishments such as: 'Talked to a YC partner,' 'Met founders of million-dollar startups,' and even 'Passed by the Cluely HQ.' Responding to the post, Tan wrote: 'Hey maybe don't do this,' making clear his disapproval of such resume inflation. His reply quickly went viral, sparking a broader conversation about credibility on professional networking platforms. Check out the post here: Inflated experience, deflated credibility? Tan's reaction struck a chord online, and the post has since garnered over 800,000 views. While many users joined in the mockery, others offered more measured responses. One user wrote sarcastically, 'Passed by the Cluely HQ == 10 years of industry experience btw,' while another echoed the sentiment with, 'Hahahahah 'passed by the Cluely HQ.'' A frustrated voice added, 'Can't even go on LinkedIn anymore, man,'—a comment repeated by more than one user. (Also read: Indian CEO gifts brand-new SUVs to 25 employees who stood by the company from day one) Yet not everyone was critical. One person defended the approach, saying, 'That's awesome actually! Shows you care about your development,' while another admitted, 'Definitely taking notes on this one.' One user summed up the broader scepticism, wondering aloud, 'Will Cluely be remembered as anything other than a curious marketing case study in a few years?'
