We were the first to confirm this news more than a month back via our contact. We revealed that ‘Young Royals’ was given the greenlit (internally) for the second season soon after the first month's viewership data was out. The series was on the top of the charts in the country of its origin, Sweden, along with being very popular in neighboring Nordic countries - Denmark and Norway. The series gained a lot of viewers in Ukraine, Russia, the UK, and Finland as well.

The cast also includes Pernilla August as Queen Kristina of Sweden, Carmen Gloria Pérez as Linda, Ivar Forsling as Crown Prince Erik of Sweden, Nathalie Varli as Madison McCoy, Ingela Olsson as Hillerska Headmistress Anette Lilja, and Inti Zamora Sobrado as Ayub.
