Young Royals is a Swedish series starring Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg. It is a series created by Lars Beckung, Lisa Ambjörn and Camilla Holter.
The most successful Swedish series returns to Netflix for its third season, telling the story of a young member of the royal family who suddenly finds himself in line for the Swedish crown.
In the midst of it all, Wilhelm meets Simon Eriksson, a boy who changes his life.
As we saw in the second season, the release of an “intimate video” changed everything. In this third year of high school, the perspectives of the young characters have shifted and they must face a completely new situation while being recognized on the streets.
“Young Royals” is a series that blends real drama with high school cinematography, but without the comedic touch.
The characters are treated with respect and the story combines modern and traditional elements, which seems to have resonated with the younger audience.
About the series
The third season consists of 6 episodes and we will have to wait until next Monday to see its finale, which will also mark the end of the series. Along with the finale, a special episode will air with the entire cast to get to know them better.
Edvin Ryding plays the young Wilhelm of Sweden. This role has opened doors for him (we recently saw him in “The Abyss“, another Netflix production). He has certainly portrayed the character well, along with his co-star Omar Rudberg, who has a more popular but complicated role. “Young Royals” is a series made for these two main actors, as well as other supporting characters, including Malte Gårdinger.
It is a well-made series in the European style, focusing more on the story than the aesthetics and allowing the actors to be the main protagonists of this tale of youth, full of emotions and complications.
In this season, the series delves into the crisis and explores maturity even further. With fewer juvenile scenes than the previous two seasons, the series seems to have adapted to its youth audience and will end its third and final season by winning over its grateful viewers.
We can only wonder if, like “Bridgerton”, the series will have spin-offs – only time will tell. The fans will surely appreciate it.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy these first five episodes of the finale, where we still have yet to discover the ending.
Enjoy!
