Netflix has announced the exciting cast for its Indian romantic-comedy series, The Royals. We’ll keep track of everything you need to know about the Series, including the plot, production updates, cast news, and the Netflix release date.
The Royals is an upcoming Netflix Original Indian romantic-drama series created by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy. The series is co-directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana.
Ishita Pritish Randy shared their excitement about working with Netflix for the first time:
““The Royals being our very first with Netflix had to be just the right blend of coming-of-age-India, Gen Z storytelling and feisty fun! There is the inevitable romance of old royalty; monarchs without crowns, and the incredible drive of today’s startup warriors for whom crowns hold zero shine. Sparks and insults will fly when these 2 worlds clash, and that has been great fun for us to create and produce! Netflix’s commitment to championing exceptional and innovative content has always resonated with us. We’re thrilled to be a part of the Netflix family and partner with them to take our tell on a girl-meets-boy, the classic maharaja (king) and aamkumari (commoner) tale, to a global audience.”

It’s been an amazing journey to develop our first project with them and our stunning cast led by the ever-so-gorgeous Bhumi, a very charming Ishaan Khattar and a gregarious cameo by Zeenat Amaan. We can’t wait to bring you this treat soon.”
