The Royals is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy drama television series directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana and written by Neha Veena Sharma. Produced by Pritish Nandy Communications, the series stars an ensemble cast including Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea, and Milind Soman. The narrative follows a financially struggling royal family in modern-day India whose fortunes take an unexpected turn when the heir teams up with a hospitality entrepreneur to revive their ancestral palace as a luxury resort.
The series premiered on Netflix on May 9, 2025, and received mixed reviews from critics. While its production design and Khatter's lead performance was praised, Pednekar's performance and her chemistry with Khatter was widely panned, and the direction and storyline drew criticism for lacking originality and emotional resonance. The series was renewed for a second season on May 28, 2025.
