It's Official: Young Royals Season 3 to Release in 2024

The promo campaign for Young Royals is starting to roll out, sending the show's fandom into a frenzy. Recently, we got a few seconds of first-look footage from the final third season, and mere hours ago, Netflix released a new teaser featuring a minute-long scene of a heartwarming interaction between Prince Wilhelm and Simon Eriksson.

Whatever new royal drama Season 3 has in store for Wille and Simon, their love seems as strong and sweet as ever, and fans can't wait for the new episodes to finally arrive. Fortunately, we now have at least some idea about the premiere date.

The official announcement

The most important thing about the new first look teaser is that it contains some details about the release.

'Only on Netflix. Coming 2024,' reads the announcement at the end of the clip.

While disappointing for many fans who were hoping to enjoy the final season of the beloved Swedish series in 2023, such a development is not entirely unexpected.

It took about half a year between the end of filming Season 2 and its premiere, and Season 3 was in production from April to June 2023. Such a pattern means that the final chapter will probably be ready for release in December at the earliest.

But December is a very busy month for the streaming platform. Besides, The Crown is already debuting its final episodes on December 14. So it was only natural for Netflix to postpone Young Royals until next year.

Any specifics?

You might think: Okay, but 2024 is a relative concept. It's 366 days. When can I expect to watch Young Royals?

Although Netflix hasn't announced a definite premiere date, we can speculate that the new season will most likely arrive on the first day of a month, just like its predecessors. January 1st feels too early and unwise, as the promo campaign in December and the first few weeks of the year is usually a tough business.

So February 1st feels like the earliest possible release date for Young Royals Season 3.

However, we can't write off the Hollywood strikes. While the cast and crew of Young Royals are Swedish and not members of American unions, the strikes still indirectly affect the project. Netflix may want to space out its hot premieres, and that could delay Season 3 until March or even later.
