Netflix has officially announced the release date of its much-anticipated romantic comedy series The Royals, starring Bhumi Pednekar and Ishaan Khatter in lead roles.

Produced by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, ‘The Royals’ promises a blend of romance, drama, sarcasm, and an unexpected chemistry. The makers have crafted a narrative that mixes royal tradition with modern chaos in a fictional setting.

The Royals Storyline

'The Royals' unfolds in the fictional royal town of Morpur, centred around a crumbling palace where tradition struggles to maintain relevance in modern times. The narrative follows Sophia Shekhar (Bhumi Pednekar), a CEO of a contemporary startup called Work Potato, who arrives with a mission to revamp the royal household's image and rescue them from their troubles.

Her path crosses with Aviraaj Singh (Ishaan Khatter), portrayed as a privileged, party-loving prince who remains financially broke yet clings to his royal charm with little understanding of reality.

The show has been directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, who bring together a mix of veteran and fresh talent. Alongside the lead pair, the cast includes Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, Udit Arora, Lisa Mishra, and Luke Kenny.

Netflix announced the release date with a new poster shared on their Instagram profile, captioning it, "A ziddi rajkumar meets a girlboss aamkumari. Royal mess, ya shahi love story? Watch The Royals, a new Netflix series out 9 May, only on Netflix." (A haughty prince meets a girlboss. Royal mess or royal love story?)
