The Royals OTT Release on Netflix on May 9

The Royals, a new royal rom-com starring Bhumi Pednekar and Ishaan Khatter, will premiere on Netflix on May 9. Set against the backdrop of the grand yet financially troubled Morpur Palace, the series revolves around a royal family that holds prestigious titles but is struggling to stay afloat.

The story introduces Sophia Shekhar, a sharp, no-nonsense CEO who is tasked with fixing the palace's fortunes. Her biggest challenge, however, is the carefree and pampered Prince Aviraaj Singh, the palace’s party-loving heir. The two come from completely different worlds, and sparks fly as they clash while working together to turn the palace’s luck around.
