The charm of palaces, the allure of royalty, and the delightful clash of personalities are all set to make their way to our screens with The Royals, Netflix’s newest original series releasing on May 9. Starring the dynamic duo Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead, this coming-of-age romantic comedy brings a fresh twist to the world of Indian OTT content.

Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, and penned by Neha Veena Sharma, The Royals is more than just a love story—it’s an eccentric mix of royal legacy, modern ambition, and delightful chaos wrapped in a charmingly messy romance.

A Story Fit for a Crown

Set in the fictional town of Morpur, the series revolves around a faded royal family living in their grand yet crumbling palace. Once admired for their lineage, the family now struggles with dwindling riches and outdated traditions. Enter Sophia Shekhar, a fiery and ambitious CEO played by Bhumi Pednekar, whose mission becomes nothing short of a royal rescue operation.

Tasked with reviving the fortunes—and fortunes—of the family, Sophia soon finds herself clashing with Aviraaj Singh (played by Ishaan Khatter), the party-loving, pampered prince of Morpur Palace. Their contrasting worlds collide, resulting in a humorous and heartwarming tale of ego battles, culture shock, and unexpected romance.

Star-Studded Cast Adds Majestic Flair

Beyond the lead pair’s crackling chemistry, The Royals boasts a vibrant ensemble cast that includes iconic names such as Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday, and Nora Fatehi. The cast also features emerging talent like Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, Lisa Mishra, and Udit Arora, promising a layered and lively storytelling experience.

Bhumi Pednekar’s Sophia is not your typical love interest. She’s fierce, independent, and on a mission. Meanwhile, Ishaan Khatter’s Aviraaj is a mix of old-school charm and new-age immaturity—a character arc that promises significant emotional and comedic growth.

Creators Behind the Crown

Backed by Pritish Nandy Communications, the series is the brainchild of Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, known for bringing nuanced and strong female-led stories to life. With The Royals, they step into a whimsical world where tradition meets modernity, and love often arrives disguised in conflict.

Why You Should Watch ‘The Royals’

The Royals blends the thrill of royal drama with the relatability of modern-day romance. Think of it as a desi fairytale, but instead of magical pumpkins and fairy godmothers, we get corporate queens, flawed royals, and a whole lot of witty banter. The show doesn’t just rely on its glamour; it dives into themes of identity, legacy, and the often comedic process of change.

From hilarious culture clashes to subtle emotional moments, the show seems poised to capture the essence of a classic rom-com while giving it a contemporary twist. And with Netflix backing the project, the production value and storytelling promise to be top-tier.

If you’re looking for a binge-worthy romantic series this summer that delivers charm, chaos, and crackling chemistry, The Royals might just be your next favorite show. Get ready to laugh, swoon, and maybe even shed a tear as Morpur’s royal family navigates love, legacy, and modern madness.

👑 Catch The Royals streaming on Netflix from May 9!
