Netflix and Pritish Nandy Communications are set to present a modern-day Indian royalty rom-com series titled "The Royals." The show features Bhumi Pednekar, making her series debut, and Ishaan Khatter. This marks the first collaboration between Netflix and Pritish Nandy Communications.
Produced by Pritish Nandy and created by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, the series aims to blend contemporary pop culture with spirited storytelling. “The Royals being our very first with Netflix had to be just the right blend of coming-of-age-India, Gen Z storytelling and feisty fun!” said Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy. They added, “Sparks and insults will fly when these two worlds clash, and that has been great fun for us to create and produce! Netflix’s commitment to championing exceptional and innovative content has always resonated with us. We’re thrilled to be a part of the Netflix family.”
Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the series also features Zeenat Aman in a special appearance, marking her Netflix debut. The ensemble cast includes Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, Udit Arora, Lisa Mishra, and Luke Kenny.
Tanya Bami, Series Head at Netflix India, commented on the upcoming release: "Everybody loves a good romance. The Royals is a modern-day regal romance with a spectacular setting and a dazzling cast. We can’t wait for our members to be enthralled by this exciting contemporary fairy tale with a generous dose of wit and humour - signature to Rangita & Ishita Nandy."
The series promises a mix of romance, ambition, desire, and the allure of royalty. As Netflix prepares to launch "The Royals," viewers can anticipate an engaging experience filled with laughter and love.
