Love And Heartache Abound In The Trailer For Netflix’s Young Royals Season 2

Netflix recently dropped the trailer for “Young Royals” Season 2. Just from the 2-minute and 30-second runtime, it’s clear that Wilhelm, Simon, and the other students of Hillerska are in for a stressful semester. Despite Simon’s heartache over Wilhelm denying their romance, the two are on speaking terms. However, Simon doesn’t want to appear too vulnerable. He tells Wilhelm in the library, “I’ve been thinking about you all break, but it’s been nice having some space.” This season, Simon will try to move on with a fresh love interest named Marcus (Tommy Wättring).

Meanwhile, Wilhelm looks far from happy as Simon distances himself. In one tense scene, he can be seen lashing out at a representative of the royal family who is trying to pry Wilhelm from his desk. He fiercely grips the furniture and says, “I’m staying.” Still, he finds solace and friendship (and maybe more?) in Felice (Nikita Uggla). As for August, he’s still lurking around Hillerska, but with a surprising new acquaintance — Simon’s sister Sara (Frida Argento), who at one point has her hand placed on his chest. It will be interesting to see if there’s something more to this storyline.

The trailer is going over extremely well with fans, many of whom already feel it’ll be an unforgettable season. On YouTube, @Sara commented, “The goosebumps, the tension and emotions in their eyes, the actors have done a great job again.” User @Assja added, “This is the most beautiful trailer I’ve ever seen … the song is hauntingly beautiful! I can’t wait to watch this masterpiece of a season!”
