Young Royals season 3 updates: Will there be another season?

Get ready for more drama, because Young Royals season 2 has arrived on Netflix and it’s another wild ride of romances, friendships, and all the uncertainties of being a teenager. The Swedish series debuted on the streamer in 2021 and was a hit with young adult audiences. Unlike other teen dramas like Elite and Riverdale, Young Royals has been applauded for its realistic storylines and wholesome relationships, not to mention its queer representation.

It’s no wonder fans were counting down the minutes until Young Royals season 2 hit the streamer, and now that all six episodes are out, viewers want more! Can you blame them? The new season came out on Nov. 1, but what should we expect next? Has the teen drama been renewed for a third installment?

Is Young Royals season 3 happening?

Yes! On Dec. 14, 2022,  Netflix officially announced that Young Royals season 3 will be happening. While that’s the good news, there’s also a slight downside for fans of the hit teen series. Season 3 will be happening, but it will also be the final season of Young Royals.

As much as fans would have wanted the series to continue far past three seasons, at least the streamer is giving the series a chance to end on its own terms and wrap up Simon and Wilhelm’s story without the added worry of a potential cliffhanger. Netflix has cut more than a few fan-favorite shows short this year, most recently Warrior Nun after two seasons.

Typically, Netflix likes to analyze the viewership numbers before ordering another season of a show. Of course, there have been exceptions to this general rule, as shows like Virgin River and Emily in Paris have received multi-season renewals before. But Young Royals has been a more modest performer comparatively to some of the most popular shows on Netflix.

Young Royals season 2 received some impressive social media buzz from fans, along with a high audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. We’ll have to wait and see what’s to come in the third and final season, but it’s sure to be exactly what fans want. Expect to see the last season make its premiere on Netflix sometime in 2023.
