Ryding and Rudberg also re-recorded their lines for the English dub version.[11] On 22 September 2021, the series was renewed for a second season, which was released on 1 November 2022.[2][3]
In February 2022, Netflix began filming a second season.[12] A promotional video was released on Instagram.[13] Filming for the second season concluded in May 2022.[14][15]
Filming for the third season began in April 2023[16] and finished in June 2023.[17]
Casting
In January 2021, long before the announcement of the series' release date, Edvin Ryding, Pernilla August, Malte Gårdinger, Frida Argento, Nikita Uggla and Omar Rudberg were announced to have been cast in the starring roles while Nathalie Varli, Felicia Truedsson, Mimmi Cyon, Ingela Olsson, Rennie Mirro, Livia Millhagen and David Lenneman were announced to have been cast in recurring roles. Ryding was cast as Prince Wilhelm and Pernilla August was cast to play his mother, Queen Kristina of Sweden.[18] It was later announced that Rudberg would play Simon, Prince Wilhelm's love interest.[19]
Marketing
The series' official teaser was released on 19 May 2021 with the official trailer released on 17 June 2021.[20][21] On 15 December 2022, Ryding and Rudberg made their US television debut as guests on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where they promoted Young Royals and its upcoming third and final season.[22][11]
Viewership

The second season made it to the top 10 in 26 countries and was streamed more than 18 million hours in the first week. During this week, the second season was ranked the 3rd most streamed non-English language series on Netflix worldwide.[24]
Critical reaction
Young Royals received critical acclaim and positive responses from audiences. On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 100%, based on five reviews, with an average rating of 8.3/10.[25] It has been praised for its fidelity to real life in casting teenagers for teenage roles and showing skin textures with blemishes.[26][27] Some critics and audiences compared the series favourably to similar shows such as Elite, Gossip Girl, The Crown and Skam.[27][26]
David Opie of Digital Spy praised Young Royals for "cast[ing] actors who actually look the age they're supposed to be playing" and "portray[ing] teenage life with some much-needed authenticity". He described the series as "an updated version of the classic Cinderella story" and concluded that the series "excels most [...] when it comes to the central romance between Wilhelm and Simon".[26] TV critic Flora Carr of Radio Times in a review of the first two episodes described the series as "predictable but heartfelt". She criticised the series' "checklist of teen-romance visuals" and "the plot's reliance on characters like August", but ultimately concluded that "the authentically teenage cast may also prove a breath of fresh air" for younger viewers.[27]
For the second season, Dieter Osswald of Swiss lifestyle magazine Display wrote: "Like stand-up characters, the separated lovers defy their fate and fight for their love. The chemistry between Edvin Ryding as the insecure prince and Omar Rudberg as the sensitive singer works even better than in the first season. Fans of creep August aka Malte Gardinger can look forward to bigger appearances with a strongly expanded role - including a naked phone call with the royal family."[28]
For the third season, Germany's popular site Queer.de wrote: "Convinces with plenty of emotional drama, surprising twists, and more political stance. Are you still watching? Or are you already crying?"[29]
