Ishaan Khatter was seen in the lead character as Maharaja Aviraaj, paired opposite Bhumi Pednekkar's Sophia.

Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, written by Neha Veena Sharma, and produced under the banner of Pritish Nandy Communications, 'The Royals' also featured veteran actress Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, and Udit Arora, among others.

While the first season went on to become the first Indian series to trend in Netflix's Global Top 10 Non-English TV Shows across 58 countries, it is now set to return with a second season.

Showrunner Rangita Pritish Nandy described the first season as a "love letter to the romcom genre," filled with lavish palaces, polo races, and midnight balls.

"Season 1 struck a chord globally. This told us just one thing: we had to come back for more. Season 2 is going to be bigger, bolder, and even more fabulous. Expect more fire, more feisty banter, and yes, a whole lot of drama," she said in a press note.

Honestly, I found the show a bit too predictable and formulaic. But I can see why it's popular globally - the production quality is top notch and Ishaan has screen presence. Hoping season 2 has more depth in the writing.

The way Ishaan connects with his fans is so wholesome. Seeing him cherish those letters is heartwarming! And yes, global top 10 in 58 countries? That's insane for an Indian show. Desi content ruling the world! 🇮🇳🌟

I binge-watched this with my family and we all loved it! The blend of royal drama and modern romance is perfect. Bhumi and Ishaan had great chemistry. Season 2 better have more Zeenat Aman - she was a scene-stealer! 🙌

As someone who usually watches Hollywood shows, I gave this a chance and wasn't disappointed. It's like an Indian Bridgerton but with more heart. Ishaan's post is so genuine - actors rarely appreciate fans like this anymore.

The subtle sequel tease in his caption is driving me crazy! "Bringing much more excitement sooon" - yaar, Ishaan, just announce the date already! Also, that BTS picture with the script is pure gold. The Royals team is truly special. 💛
