Young Royals: Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg tease ‘passionate’ season 3
Warning: minor spoilers ahead. Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg are teasing a ‘fun, passionate and messy’ arc for their characters in the third (and final!) season of Young Royals.
Premiering 11 March on Netflix, with the series finale airing the following week on 18 March, the last hurrah for the beloved Swedish drama will focus on the aftermath of Wilhelm (Ryding) finally admitting to the press that he was the other man in the leaked video with Simon (Rudberg).
The official synopsis for season three reads: “Wilhelm’s speech has consequences not only in the court but also throughout the school, as Hillerska confronts the worst crisis in the school’s history. “The prince and Simon are determined to be together, but what are they willing to sacrifice when realising that their freedom and love might be at odds with the Royal ideals, traditions and responsibilities?” In an exclusive interview with the former GAY TIMES cover stars, Ryding describes the end of the series as “bittersweet”: “Part of me feels very sentimental over the fact that we’re actually saying goodbye. “Shooting the last scenes were very tearful and emotional.
