Young Royals Season 3 Teaser Sparks Hope for 2023 Release

Although Netflix's Young Royals doesn't enjoy the same popularity as Heartstopper or Sex Education, the Swedish LGBTQ+ romance series has managed to attract a loyal following over its first two seasons. Fans are eager to see more of Prince Willie and his lover Simon. Unfortunately, Netflix has been tight-lipped about any news concerning Young Royals throughout 2023, leading fans to speculate that the show's return has been delayed until next year.

Nevertheless, these theories were laid to rest yesterday when Netflix's official YouTube channel premiered a showreel dedicated to the streaming service's various LGBTQ+ teen shows, ending with a brand new scene from season three of Young Royals.

High Hopes

Even though Netflix didn't announce the release date for Season 3, fans are now confident that this unexpected sneak peek suggests the show will return sometime this year, with November seen as the most likely option.

While it would be delightful to see Willie and Simon return next month, most fans say it's a bit premature for a release date, given that Netflix has barely begun marketing the show for such an imminent release.

The streaming giant's executives may be trying to generate buzz for the show before they release it closer to Christmas to raise awareness among potential viewers. While the Swedish language may present a hurdle for many, Squid Game has already demonstrated that a foreign language isn't that big of a barrier to a show becoming a hit. Fans of Young Royals hope the series will finally break into the mainstream with its third season.

Uncertainty

However, it's not as if the 2023 release date is a sure thing for Young Royals. Netflix could easily push the premiere back to 2024, choosing to build momentum rather than rush the show's return.

And while such a long wait could be devastating for fans, there's no denying that a more extended marketing campaign could significantly boost Young Royals' impact, don't you think?
