Yes, he's right, but we don't live in an ideal world. You have to make things political in order to change the world. However, people are labeling themselves less as gay, lesbian or straight and coming out as "fluid", which I think is a more realistic thing to do, sexuality is fluid indeed.

Jim Summers Nah but you're right. The Rahim angle seems forced. The fights between Victor and Benji seemed forced. I love them but I couldn't help but be a little annoyed at how it slightly lacks depth.
Best show/film I’ve seen in a long time. It really makes you feel so connected to the characters. It’s been days and I can’t stop thinking about this show. It’s so fragile, vulnerable, and realistic... and I don’t think they could’ve casted anybody better than omar and edvin. And can we talk about how this is omar’s acting DEBUT??? He’s incredible
Exactly. When i went to watch a show about a Swedish prince going to a boarding school where he falls in love with another guy, i didn't expect this. I expected it to be a well written, beautiful, emotional and unique show. And it was all of this, but it was also realistic and grounded. And that was something that i loved.
Just two fine actors, grounded and delightful young men. Both so cool, loved the scene of Edvin staggering around the soccer field and ultimately being rescued by Omar, on the back of his bicycle of course. A hilarious scene ❤😊
I think Elite is a great show. Not that Young Royals isn`t so too. But have in mind one of them have just finished it`s first season - the other have been going for a few years. Plus the philosophy behind the two shows is completely different. Elite was a show about culture conflicts between privileged kids, and kids of more ordinary, even in Samuel`s case, more poorer background. While Young Royals is the story of a prince who after a few unfortunate episodes going to an ordinary school, is placed in an elitist boarding school, where he falls in love with one of the few boys of less privileged background at the same school. Young Royals is more a gay romance story with soap elements, plus a tiny bit of drama, thrown in. Elite is more centered around crime, suspense, sex, and character developments - depicting friendships and relationships across the class system, and the friction that sometimes create. Young Royals are solely centered around the two leads, Wilhelm and Simon - with a few, very few, additional characters provided screentime and material for. But the weakness of the show is that all of the adult characters at best are stereotypes - at worst glorified extras. Also everything is depicted from the youth`s perspective. There isn`t a proper depiction of the behind the scene drama, both at the palace, in the government and in the press, that some of the developments would have caused in real life. So I think Young Royals is not quite of the same standard as Elite, despite both Malte Gårdinger and Omar Rudberg are fantastic in their roles, and have been given amazing roles to play, the other characters and SLs doesn`t quite match their standard, or the standard Elite provides. Had it been two episodes longer, so more screentime could be offered to the factors I mentioned, than maybe? But as it is, it is too naively focused just around the teens. Neither Wilhelm`s royal parents, the teachers at the school, the parents of the other kids are presented as anything other than stereotypes or glorified extras, so their point of view and motivations are depicted as the kids interpret it, not as it necessarily would have been in real life - and the government and press element, is not depicted at all. Trust me, with some of the developments this show have included both government and opposition politicians would have a say - same with the press and ordinary people. But that side of things, politicians advancing their careers either by being supportive or in opposition to the monarchy, or advising the Royals what to say or do to save the monarchy, the press writing editorials and conducting polls about how the public feel, is completely absent from Young Royals. It wouldn`t have been, had something like what happens in the show happened in real life.
AND the talented Swedish cast speak perfect English and were able to dub the English version in their own voices > very very rare in the dubbing of foreign language movies and tv shows for the North American market!
These two actors are ones to watch out for! So much love for this from Australia! I felt like the show was genuine, raw, and convincing. I never felt like I had to suspend my disbelief, it felt like real kids with real problems. The show worked because: 1. The cast look their age. Wilhelm looked so young, that when something bad happened you wanted to protect him 2. While the kids are from rich backgrounds, there are no ridiculous scenes of kids driving around in Porsches or flashing off their stuff. It's understated, like Felice's hairpins. Just hints to show who is above the rest, but not in your face. 3. They mastered the rule of show, don't tell. Wilhelm and Simon's micro expressions, the fingers brushing each other etc I felt more invested in their relationship then any storyline on a show like gossip girl etc 4. It was refreshingly not glamourized or downright depressing (ala Euphoria). The kids each have their own problems, and are facing them in a way an actual teenager would deal with I can't recommend this show enough!!!
Unlike "Love Triangles, Victor", the producers and writers of "Young Royals" treat their characters AND viewers with the RESPECT & CARE they all deserve!:)
This is Omar's first acting role and it feels like he's been acting for years. He's soooo freaking good in Young Royals. And the chemistry he has with Edvin is through the roof. I have watched shows/movies where the actors have insane chemistry but Omar and Edvin's chemistry is so different to the ones i have watched. I have never seen anything like it.
Edvin Ryding has a wonderful characteristic I've noticed in some actors: they lock eyes on the person they're conversing/acting with and commit totally to that moment.
@@kill4oj That demonstrates emotional maturity, at ease in one's skin, an integrated personality without fear of being absolutely who you are at the moment: these two actors were examples ofreal people with real emotions, and not afraid of the vulnerability in being absolutely oneself.
...It is important to remember that not all cultures value direct eye contact when speaking. You don't need to put so much emphasis on it as a positive or negative sign if you don't make eye contact when talking.
he also does it with hugging - both in the show and in real life. when he hugs people.. in that moment it's like they're the only person in the world and he holds on for dear life. it's extremely refreshing to see and also very mature.
The casting of this show is INSANE, not only do they fit their own roles but they also fit each other so perfectly. Like, the football field scene...ugh. There NEEDS to be a season 2.
BUT > "Whose Door Is Victor At?" AND > "Who will Victor CHOOSE?" > *BARF*!:( "Young Royals " is so vastly superior to the Hollywood schlock "Love Triangles, Victor"!:)
To make the point that LBGTQ viewers need to raise their voices and demand higher quality, more intelligent, better written & cast series like "Young Royals"! Because if they don't, Hollywood will keep right on delivering over-rated, "love triangles" schlock like "Love, Victor" which isn't close to the quality and intelligent writing of vastly superior "Young Royals"!@@moonbinisaghostiemermaidpr4950
WRITING...WRITING...WRITING > and yes, definitely very talented actors! But it all starts with high quality writers and producers who treat both the LBGTQ subject matter and viewers of the series with an appreciated high degree of respect, care and consideration!
When Omar says "Mam-maa" as he does, it stops my breath. He speaks the language so very beautifully and like no one I've heard. He is so precious, pretty, and eloquent! And Edvin....so elegant, intense, and handsome! They are unique, beautiful and naturally gifted!
The small details in this series are exquisite. The breathing. Like how they breathe heavily when they are around each other. willi's nail biting. It's all so good 😭😭😭
Just finished Young Royals yesterday and it's insanely how much I fell for it. Especially for the chemistry between Wille and Simon. Their scenes together were pure art (the way they stared, hugged, kissed, touched...) and I just got to know that they had an intimacy coordinator... please can we just emphasize how beautiful that is? How beautiful it is that there was respect and trust throughout the whole process. Also the fact that the story was written by a woman. It makes it all even more perfect. I'm so happy to have a story like this. Everyone should watch it!
That's right - you should always remember that it's a cross series and everything, everything that happened between the two boys was a game. Of course there has to be a coordinator behind it, because how else would these two know where the beginning and when the end. It's based on a script. Symbol „Von der Community überprüft“
Renewal is assured, but it will take roughly one year for season 2 to drop > which is a frustrating reality of Streaming series which I hope gets shortened moving forward!:(
I love their authenticity. We need these type of genuine young men in the entertainment industry to teach the world non- toxicity and educate the society on several topics.
Just watched this gem of a series and I swear I've never seen anything portray the process of falling in love and being in love this perfectly. The chemistry between Omar and Edvin is unbelievable, and they venture so bravely and completely into their roles it's hard to believe it's all fake. I don't think most actors would describe kissing scenes they had as "insanely good". Just goes to show how laid-back they are about everything - and that you can't fake true chemistry.
I've seen episodes of the series several times. Each time I notice a different detail, a thread worth looking at and thinking about. We don't talk much about the script, which is wonderful, so natural and so relevant to the present times. Edvin, Omar you are wonderful.
They both handled it well, but it was just a script that made the whole thing one. It was obvious that they both became best friends during 3 years of filming because that's how they would fit in in real life. But, real is not a show, script agreed exactly.
The chemistry between these two is remarkable...it goes way beyond acting...also, the positive message they're sending to so many young fans is amazing😊Omar is right.. life is so much easier when you don't care what people think.
This show is soooooo good! I’m really glad I live in a time where shows like this exist. When I was younger, the next best thing was reading a wattpad fiction about characters like these but to have these characters portrayed and not filtered in real life it’s just amazing really. It is. I don’t know what season 2 story line will be, the secret is out so I’m excited to see what crazy thing they bring up. This is a 10/10 for me
Sure, we've all had many bad memories in highschool, but it's nice to see that the characters in the series are more than just bullies and goody-two-shoes. Each of the character have their dark and light sides, with acne, bad hair days and whatnots... just like REAL TEENAGERS! It's also so refreshing to see more depth, culture and diversity in teenage drama series. It's good to see trilingual kids talking as most of us in the world can relate to this! This series have opened my eyes more, looking through the lenses of two boys, in contrasting environments, going through adolescence phase, like us all. I'm a straight female and went to a Catholic private school all my life. I have met kids like them and had seen the superficial side of their lives. But, it's eye-opening and touching to take a glimpse of what's really going on to them emotionally. I'm so in love with the characters and rawness of the story. Kudos to the cast and crew of Young Royals! Can't wait for Season 2!
That's so sweet honestly, their friendship is so remarkable. Their so comfortable around each other, it's like what a real friendship should be like (obviously there are different types of friendships out there)
This is my favorite Edvin and Omar interview… their natural bond and chemistry made it flow sooo well.. and watching their respect and attentiveness when the other is talking… I just..🤧…🥺….😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omar seems to have a little crush 'cause how much his facial expressions are smiling and flirty. But it may just be that he's shy, after all this is an interview and he's not acting, some actors get disconcerted.
@@jessicapalhares8436 i think omar is naturally shy (but like not in a type of way that comes into your mind first when you think of someone being shy, i don't know if that makes sense) in situations he's not super used to (here: promoting a show). while edvin gives me a laid back vibe (and if not then it's more the momentary nerves than being shy imo) during these promo stuff (probably bc of the experience of describing or analysing roles and storylines - stuff they do during promos). if you have seen the IG live interview they did, omar is fidgeting there a lot and seems really nervous at the beginning while edvin is mostly calm. so omar's smiles here are probably because he's nervous and edvin's staring and him showing the other person he's listening and acknowledging what they are saying is either just one of his habits (i didn't see any other interview with him that was not with omar so idk how he is with anyone else) or he wants to make omar feel more at ease
Yes, of course, because it was agreed upon beforehand. On Netflix, these two only say what you should and are allowed to hear. This documentary was carefully planned in advance, that should be clear to everyone before everyone starts crying. It's a show, nothing more. It's okay that the chemistry is right, but if it had been other two actors before, the comments would all be the same. Symbol „Von der Community überprüft“ Feedback
there were scenes where i braced myself for the typical portrayal of struggling with sexuality and mental health but this show subverted my expectations so well. congrats to the writers, actors, and the entire team. it's wonderful hearing them talk about their craft and seeing how comfortable they are. can't wait for season 2!!
The authenticity and realism of the show and the chemistry between the actors makes this show really amazing and different. Really thankful to NETFLIX and the whole cast and crew and a friend who suggested me to watch the show.. really hoping for season 2 soon🖤...
A perfect match for Simon and Wilhelm. Omar and Edvin did a fantastic job portraying them. Their chemistry is soooo visible even if they are not acting here. So natural. Wow!
I was supposed to do my modules but instead I binged watch this til 3am yesterday and now i can't get over of them. I just love that when their awkward i felt awkward too, when there was a tension i felt it too like i am part of the serie. The amount of heart fluttering moments of them are making me overwhelmed. Love them so much now ❤️
I'm SO SO happy about Young Royals, because I've already watched the series 21 times (I know that's a lot) and it will DEFINITELY be even more. After the end of the first season, I was very sad😭, because I wanted to know what happens next with Wille and Simon. That's why I REALLY NEED a second season!!! 😍 PLEASE NETFLIX! 🙏🏻
Still watching 2yrs later. Young Royals is that once in a lifetime true love story. There is no screen. We interact with it directly in our heart. Bravo. 👏 Everyone involved. They were such role models for genz. Lost to time now.
their chemistry is so beautiful even outside of Wilhelm and Simon, which i think isn’t very common in many actors. i love them :( season 2 badly needed alert!
they're so mature omg. i'm in between them in terms of age and i wish boys my age, and even people my age, could talk so well and so maturely about mental health and sexuality! i'm just thinking about my siblings, my brother is older than omar and my sister a bit younger than edvin, but they would never been able to talk like this, and this is saddening. thank you to these great actors really, they made the show so well
I love the the two of you, like everyone else. Your connection seems palpable, sincere. And, the ability to speak multiple languages is absolutely mind boggling to me. The show MUST go on!
I really didn't know anything about this show until I saw it listed on Netflix and decided to watch it. I could not take myself away from it and ended up binge-watching for two days. These two handsome young actors are amazing. The entire cast is fantastic and the story is well written. I can't stop thinking about these two actors and cannot wait until season three starts.
It was an incredibly emotional show. If you put aside their respective social class, what I loved most is that it focused on the love story between two normal, everyday young guys in a "natural environment", something we can actually relate to, as we often lived these situations at school. It's different from other shows that feature gay people. We need more like this one! :)
This is such a brilliant series. So well written. And of course the acting between Edvin and Omar is incredible. Omar is so natural and adorable. So easy to like him as a character. And handsome of course! Looking forward to season 2 (??) hehe
This show touches our hearts. For me personally it was very hard to watch this show because it kind of reminds me of my previous experiences. However I finished watching the show few days ago and this show somehow keeps coming to my mind time to time since then. For a guy who was born and living in a country which socially, culturally and justly doesn't support the LGBT+ community, I know the pain and feelings that both Wilhelm and Simon go through. It is so hard to stop yourself from loving the person u wanna love. In this show the problem Wilhelm face is being a Royal, though he lives in an accepting country. In our case we are not Royals but the entire country won't accept who we are. I'm in my mid 20s and it is so sad to think that any of the LGBT+ young kids in countries like this, won't get to feel the freedom, joy and bliss of loving the person they want to love without fear, for generations to come. Thank you Netflix for producing such amazing show, so the awareness will spread. The actors also did an outstanding job. Love is Love. Hope the world will soon become a beautiful place filled with love and joy. Love you all.
This show has just become a favorite of mine and the romance is up there with Bly Manor’s. Let me start by saying that I have never fallen in love, nor have I known what any of it feels like, so when I get to live that through movies and series, I am always very delighted. The expressions written on the characters’ faces in Young Royals tell you everything you need to know about love, and I was left repeatedly thinking about the series after finishing it. What got me the most is the subtlety and foolishness of young love embodied in smiles and stolen glances. It’s the genuine heartbreak that was drawn all over Wilhelm’s face at the thought of losing Simon for me, and the clear cut distinctions that continue to highlight their relationship class-wise when faced with obstacles. Honestly, I am thankful for everyone, who worked on this show for the raw performances and solid narration. The cast did very well.
What edvin said is so true. We have to come out only because We feel like its a need to tell people, get validation from them, like, “What if they will look at me different? I have to tell them to be sure.” You should be Who you are without having to explain it to other people.
This show deserves the world. I love the entire cast and I will protect Simon with my life. I loved Felice so much and Wile was an incredible protagonist and August’s character…the feelings I felt whilst binging the entire series one night. The way I screamed at my laptop when it told me the 6th episode was over. When I say skip everything else on your list and watch this first - I REALLY MEAN IT. I need this to have a season 2 I just need it to. Rant over.
best netflix series i’ve seen it’s so so good. well done to all the actors and people behind the scenes! really hope to see a season 2 announcement soon.
When Edwin spontaneously blurts out that the emotionally, intense kissing scenes were terrific, he is so proud of these two guys making out with.a guy in front of cameras, the entire cast, director, etc., and millions of viewers, and the two agree it was wonderful that no one flinched, hesitated, or held back a sliver of emotion: whatever the quality of their relationship feelings towards the other, platonic, or real attraction, they are proud of being who the are, two guys acting love scenes between two guys, with such verisimilitude that we believe they are really in love, proud of showing that, and at ease in their strength to be who they are...all the scenes when the two are physically intimate has no pretence, very cell in their bodies feels the moment when two guys are in love: f**k what the world thinks or says. Bravo, bravo, bravo.
I just finished watching the whole season 1 after this and please I want more their is so much more that needs to be there, but I have to say I'm in absolute love with this show , their chemistry was perfect absolutely spot on and that could be seen in this interview as well 😭 they're perfect. Netflix gimme a part 2 😭
This show was sooo goood! Should have been longer than just 6 episodes 😭😭 but those 6 episodes were such an emotional roller coaster though ❤️ we need season 2 ASAP
I would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for the team of this series. This make me happy for this year that I haven't been this happy in a long time and i love their chemistry in and out of character. LOVE YOU GUYS WE WAIT FOR SEASON 2
We need season 2!! The show was incredible😭♥️ I haven’t watched a show this good in a long time! the chemistry between the characters was amazing, i just love them so much!!
My eyes tear up when I think about the impact that shows like Young Royals, which portrays love between people of the same gender as natural and precious, will have on young people who are exploring their sexualities. Simon’s and Wilhelm’s storylines validate queer youth’s experiences-the good and the bad. The visibility of queer protagonists on screen assures queer youth that their identities are not shameful.

Unlike "Love Triangles, Victor", the producers and writers of "Young Royals" treat their characters AND viewers with the RESPECT & CARE they all deserve!:)
Excelente
This is Omar's first acting role and it feels like he's been acting for years. He's soooo freaking good in Young Royals. And the chemistry he has with Edvin is through the roof. I have watched shows/movies where the actors have insane chemistry but Omar and Edvin's chemistry is so different to the ones i have watched. I have never seen anything like it.
Edvin Ryding has a wonderful characteristic I've noticed in some actors: they lock eyes on the person they're conversing/acting with and commit totally to that moment.
I’ve noticed that too and I think that’s a really cute
@@kill4oj That demonstrates emotional maturity, at ease in one's skin, an integrated personality without fear of being absolutely who you are at the moment: these two actors were examples ofreal people with real emotions, and not afraid of the vulnerability in being absolutely oneself.
...It is important to remember that not all cultures value direct eye contact when speaking. You don't need to put so much emphasis on it as a positive or negative sign if you don't make eye contact when talking.
he also does it with hugging - both in the show and in real life. when he hugs people.. in that moment it's like they're the only person in the world and he holds on for dear life. it's extremely refreshing to see and also very mature.
they’re so attentive to each other, they listen so well when the other is speaking they have such great chemistry this is a1 casting
Yeah they should like some how to react this bro romance thing looks like some time
The casting of this show is INSANE, not only do they fit their own roles but they also fit each other so perfectly. Like, the football field scene...ugh. There NEEDS to be a season 2.
BUT > "Whose Door Is Victor At?" AND > "Who will Victor CHOOSE?" > *BARF*!:( "Young Royals " is so vastly superior to the Hollywood schlock "Love Triangles, Victor"!:)
@@jimsummers3313 why do u need to compare tho?
To make the point that LBGTQ viewers need to raise their voices and demand higher quality, more intelligent, better written & cast series like "Young Royals"! Because if they don't, Hollywood will keep right on delivering over-rated, "love triangles" schlock like "Love, Victor" which isn't close to the quality and intelligent writing of vastly superior "Young Royals"!@@moonbinisaghostiemermaidpr4950
Now there's a season 3, you happy?
these two actors seem incredible, i need to get around to watching this show immediately!!
Yes you do!!! It's so so so so good
it's a must!
Do it! I finished it in a day! It's amazing
Go! Go! Go!
WATCH ITTTT I PROMISE SKIP EVERYTHING ON UR LIST UNTIL U HAVE WATCHED THIS BEST TEEN SHOW EVER
best show on netflix, edvin and omar are incredible and it really felt so real and intimate, beautiful.
WRITING...WRITING...WRITING > and yes, definitely very talented actors! But it all starts with high quality writers and producers who treat both the LBGTQ subject matter and viewers of the series with an appreciated high degree of respect, care and consideration!
@@jimsummers3313 yes of course the writers are amazing! watched their deep talk you can see how much they care about the story they're telling.
What do you think about the kssing scene? “They were insanily good” BOTH LAUGHS HAHAHAHAH edvin after : ummmmmm
I agree!!! Best kissing scene since Titanic ❣️❣️❣️❣️
THEY ALSO SEEMED NERVOUS AFTER THAT HAHAHAHAH i love them so much
Lmaoo
The kissing scenes are kinda tame tbh but sweet
@@rumblefish9 Well this is a show that aims to be more realistic and not hypersexualized so many shows are nowadays
We need a second season! PLEASE
or you’ll have to pay a lot of therapist
ohhh god. i want a therapist, i'm so obsessed.
With this series deservedly trending #1 in so many major global markets, it ain't a tough call to confidently say it WILL be renewed!
We will get a second season, Thank you Netflex
Looks like we're off the hook because SEASON 2 IS OFFICIALLY HAPPENING! 👑
@@stillwatchingnetflix omg yay that makes me so happy to hear!!!
I rewatch this show everyday, im not Kidding im literally obsessed
me too
OMG ME TOO LMAO
Omgg me too
Same!!! i have had it on REPEAT for a week now❤️❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑👑
Me too
When Omar says "Mam-maa" as he does, it stops my breath. He speaks the language so very beautifully and like no one I've heard. He is so precious, pretty, and eloquent! And Edvin....so elegant, intense, and handsome! They are unique, beautiful and naturally gifted!
edvin staring at omar like that has me trying to catch my breath.. how the hell does omar handle that and can remain so calm?? 🥵
I was saying the same thing omg!?!?!?
truly the best show out there at the moment
for realll!!!
BUT > "Whose DOOR is Victor at?" AND > "Who will Victor CHOOSE?" *BARF*!!:)
Watch heartstopper
@@deanasophia2468 young royals is better than heartstopper
@@deanasophia2468nahh this better
The small details in this series are exquisite. The breathing. Like how they breathe heavily when they are around each other. willi's nail biting. It's all so good 😭😭😭
and when his jealous damn my heart
One of the best shows on Netflix, full stop! And in no small part thanks to Edvin and Omar! Netflix is insane if they don't renew this show!
Netflix just need to tell us that it's been renewed for a second season so we can calm down and by we i mean me 😭😭
fr
no we*
Just finished Young Royals yesterday and it's insanely how much I fell for it. Especially for the chemistry between Wille and Simon. Their scenes together were pure art (the way they stared, hugged, kissed, touched...) and I just got to know that they had an intimacy coordinator... please can we just emphasize how beautiful that is? How beautiful it is that there was respect and trust throughout the whole process. Also the fact that the story was written by a woman. It makes it all even more perfect. I'm so happy to have a story like this. Everyone should watch it!
That's right - you should always remember that it's a cross series and everything, everything that happened between the two boys was a game. Of course there has to be a coordinator behind it, because how else would these two know where the beginning and when the end. It's based on a script.

the way they both stare at each other so deeply while the other is talking
i aspire to be as good a listener as they are
We need season 2 ASAP
Renewal is assured, but it will take roughly one year for season 2 to drop > which is a frustrating reality of Streaming series which I hope gets shortened moving forward!:(
It's only 2 days more of waiting by now
@@sammy-db6ix It's already out now lollllllllll
We need season 3 now hahaha
The chemistry of this two is no joke
I love their authenticity. We need these type of genuine young men in the entertainment industry to teach the world non- toxicity and educate the society on several topics.
Tbh the way they look at each other is totally something else. I just blush out when they look at each other
I like how Edvin Ryding face wasn't covered in makeup in series, while he is wearing one here. Regardless of his skin texture, he is handsome.
1:42 That sweet smile 🙂
I love how they look in each other's eyes when talking, they are really comfortable with each other
Just watched this gem of a series and I swear I've never seen anything portray the process of falling in love and being in love this perfectly. The chemistry between Omar and Edvin is unbelievable, and they venture so bravely and completely into their roles it's hard to believe it's all fake. I don't think most actors would describe kissing scenes they had as "insanely good". Just goes to show how laid-back they are about everything - and that you can't fake true chemistry.
I've seen episodes of the series several times. Each time I notice a different detail, a thread worth looking at and thinking about. We don't talk much about the script, which is wonderful, so natural and so relevant to the present times. Edvin, Omar you are wonderful.
They both handled it well, but it was just a script that made the whole thing one. It was obvious that they both became best friends during 3 years of filming because that's how they would fit in in real life. But, real is not a show, script agreed exactly.
Swedish for "I love you too": "have a nice Christmas" 😢🤦🏼♂️😂
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
That hurt
I--😂🤚
i don't get it :(
@@kian_pogiii it’s a reference to the end of episode 6
What Edvig says at 4:44 is so relevant! having fluidity in who you like or are shouldn’t be considered a huge statement just, you being you
Thank god this show is finally getting promoted more towards anglophone audiences, it needs a season 2 !!
The chemistry between these two is remarkable...it goes way beyond acting...also, the positive message they're sending to so many young fans is amazing😊Omar is right.. life is so much easier when you don't care what people think.
This show is one of the best that Netflix has ever created. It is extremely realistic, fragile, and beautiful. We definitely need S2 !
This show is soooooo good! I’m really glad I live in a time where shows like this exist. When I was younger, the next best thing was reading a wattpad fiction about characters like these but to have these characters portrayed and not filtered in real life it’s just amazing really. It is. I don’t know what season 2 story line will be, the secret is out so I’m excited to see what crazy thing they bring up. This is a 10/10 for me
Why is this incredible show even being compared to Elite? It's so much better.
Such a genuine conversation, topics, characterisation, worth watching!!!!
Sure, we've all had many bad memories in highschool, but it's nice to see that the characters in the series are more than just bullies and goody-two-shoes. Each of the character have their dark and light sides, with acne, bad hair days and whatnots... just like REAL TEENAGERS! It's also so refreshing to see more depth, culture and diversity in teenage drama series. It's good to see trilingual kids talking as most of us in the world can relate to this!
This series have opened my eyes more, looking through the lenses of two boys, in contrasting environments, going through adolescence phase, like us all. I'm a straight female and went to a Catholic private school all my life. I have met kids like them and had seen the superficial side of their lives. But, it's eye-opening and touching to take a glimpse of what's really going on to them emotionally. I'm so in love with the characters and rawness of the story. Kudos to the cast and crew of Young Royals! Can't wait for Season 2!
Completely obsessed with this show
You and me both hun
I already watched this interview on Netflix Nordic but I’m watching it again and enjoying it again
7:25 the way Omar looks at Edvin istg🤭🥺
Sayin..
That's so sweet honestly, their friendship is so remarkable. Their so comfortable around each other, it's like what a real friendship should be like (obviously there are different types of friendships out there)
thank u netflix for introducing me to these two angels, GIVE ME SEASON 2
This is my favorite Edvin and Omar interview… their natural bond and chemistry made it flow sooo well.. and watching their respect and attentiveness when the other is talking… I just..🤧…🥺….😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
1:08 the way he's so focused on Omar speaking and the "hmm" with the intense stare,,,,god I coming up
I..have fantasies. 👑👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️❤️
WTF 😭😭
Omar seems to have a little crush 'cause how much his facial expressions are smiling and flirty. But it may just be that he's shy, after all this is an interview and he's not acting, some actors get disconcerted.
@@jessicapalhares8436 i think omar is naturally shy (but like not in a type of way that comes into your mind first when you think of someone being shy, i don't know if that makes sense) in situations he's not super used to (here: promoting a show). while edvin gives me a laid back vibe (and if not then it's more the momentary nerves than being shy imo) during these promo stuff (probably bc of the experience of describing or analysing roles and storylines - stuff they do during promos). if you have seen the IG live interview they did, omar is fidgeting there a lot and seems really nervous at the beginning while edvin is mostly calm. so omar's smiles here are probably because he's nervous and edvin's staring and him showing the other person he's listening and acknowledging what they are saying is either just one of his habits (i didn't see any other interview with him that was not with omar so idk how he is with anyone else) or he wants to make omar feel more at ease
I forget that they aren’t their characters in this video. Their chemistry is so great and natural. Nothing in this video felt forced or uncomfortable
Yes, of course, because it was agreed upon beforehand. On Netflix, these two only say what you should and are allowed to hear. This documentary was carefully planned in advance, that should be clear to everyone before everyone starts crying. It's a show, nothing more. It's okay that the chemistry is right, but if it had been other two actors before, the comments would all be the same.

Feedback
I love this show as it feels so real, pure & down to earth
there were scenes where i braced myself for the typical portrayal of struggling with sexuality and mental health but this show subverted my expectations so well. congrats to the writers, actors, and the entire team. it's wonderful hearing them talk about their craft and seeing how comfortable they are. can't wait for season 2!!
I feel like I'm gonna melt if edvin looked to me like that
The authenticity and realism of the show and the chemistry between the actors makes this show really amazing and different. Really thankful to NETFLIX and the whole cast and crew and a friend who suggested me to watch the show.. really hoping for season 2 soon🖤...
A perfect match for Simon and Wilhelm. Omar and Edvin did a fantastic job portraying them. Their chemistry is soooo visible even if they are not acting here. So natural. Wow!
I was supposed to do my modules but instead I binged watch this til 3am yesterday and now i can't get over of them. I just love that when their awkward i felt awkward too, when there was a tension i felt it too like i am part of the serie. The amount of heart fluttering moments of them are making me overwhelmed. Love them so much now ❤️
I'm SO SO happy about Young Royals, because I've already watched the series 21 times (I know that's a lot) and it will DEFINITELY be even more. After the end of the first season, I was very sad😭, because I wanted to know what happens next with Wille and Simon. That's why I REALLY NEED a second season!!! 😍 PLEASE NETFLIX! 🙏🏻
I NEED SEASON TWOOOOO
Still watching 2yrs later. Young Royals is that once in a lifetime true love story. There is no screen. We interact with it directly in our heart. Bravo. 👏 Everyone involved. They were such role models for genz. Lost to time now.
their chemistry is so beautiful even outside of Wilhelm and Simon, which i think isn’t very common in many actors. i love them :( season 2 badly needed alert!
ONE OF THE BEST NETFLIX SERIES!!! OFF COURSE 🙌
they're so mature omg. i'm in between them in terms of age and i wish boys my age, and even people my age, could talk so well and so maturely about mental health and sexuality! i'm just thinking about my siblings, my brother is older than omar and my sister a bit younger than edvin, but they would never been able to talk like this, and this is saddening. thank you to these great actors really, they made the show so well
Right now Netflix says “It’s Official: Another Season is Coming!”, but as soon as it comes out I’m literally gonna cry 😭
Same lol
I love the the two of you, like everyone else. Your connection seems palpable, sincere. And, the ability to speak multiple languages is absolutely mind boggling to me. The show MUST go on!
I really didn't know anything about this show until I saw it listed on Netflix and decided to watch it. I could not take myself away from it and ended up binge-watching for two days. These two handsome young actors are amazing. The entire cast is fantastic and the story is well written. I can't stop thinking about these two actors and cannot wait until season three starts.
They understood their characters so well and played them perfectly.
Love my Simon and wille 💕
Whenever i think Wilhelm only has Simon i cry deep inside
I hope they will bring em together
It was an incredibly emotional show. If you put aside their respective social class, what I loved most is that it focused on the love story between two normal, everyday young guys in a "natural environment", something we can actually relate to, as we often lived these situations at school. It's different from other shows that feature gay people. We need more like this one! :)
one of the best shows i've ever watched and definitely in my top 3 faves. the cast is just so perfect, especially these two. role models for sure.
Talented actors, great to watch them. Edvin's sad face and that tear rolling down his face in the last episode was very special.
This is such a brilliant series. So well written. And of course the acting between Edvin and Omar is incredible. Omar is so natural and adorable. So easy to like him as a character. And handsome of course! Looking forward to season 2 (??) hehe
This show touches our hearts. For me personally it was very hard to watch this show because it kind of reminds me of my previous experiences. However I finished watching the show few days ago and this show somehow keeps coming to my mind time to time since then. For a guy who was born and living in a country which socially, culturally and justly doesn't support the LGBT+ community, I know the pain and feelings that both Wilhelm and Simon go through. It is so hard to stop yourself from loving the person u wanna love. In this show the problem Wilhelm face is being a Royal, though he lives in an accepting country. In our case we are not Royals but the entire country won't accept who we are. I'm in my mid 20s and it is so sad to think that any of the LGBT+ young kids in countries like this, won't get to feel the freedom, joy and bliss of loving the person they want to love without fear, for generations to come. Thank you Netflix for producing such amazing show, so the awareness will spread. The actors also did an outstanding job. Love is Love. Hope the world will soon become a beautiful place filled with love and joy. Love you all.
THE SCENES AND EMOTIONS AND CHEMISTRY IN THESE SERIES ARE SO RAW AND REAL. I HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR THIS SHOW. Let's start a revolution
This show has just become a favorite of mine and the romance is up there with Bly Manor’s.
Let me start by saying that I have never fallen in love, nor have I known what any of it feels like, so when I get to live that through movies and series, I am always very delighted. The expressions written on the characters’ faces in Young Royals tell you everything you need to know about love, and I was left repeatedly thinking about the series after finishing it.
What got me the most is the subtlety and foolishness of young love embodied in smiles and stolen glances. It’s the genuine heartbreak that was drawn all over Wilhelm’s face at the thought of losing Simon for me, and the clear cut distinctions that continue to highlight their relationship class-wise when faced with obstacles.
Honestly, I am thankful for everyone, who worked on this show for the raw performances and solid narration. The cast did very well.
What edvin said is so true. We have to come out only because We feel like its a need to tell people, get validation from them, like, “What if they will look at me different? I have to tell them to be sure.” You should be Who you are without having to explain it to other people.
The Perfect pair Edvin and Omar not only show their great young actors , but it is extremely difficult to get into someones heart , and they do
Perfect chemistry on scene and in reality. Thank you for delivering excellence 💯
All love and respect ❤❤❤
This show deserves the world. I love the entire cast and I will protect Simon with my life. I loved Felice so much and Wile was an incredible protagonist and August’s character…the feelings I felt whilst binging the entire series one night. The way I screamed at my laptop when it told me the 6th episode was over. When I say skip everything else on your list and watch this first - I REALLY MEAN IT. I need this to have a season 2 I just need it to. Rant over.
I like the way Edvin looks at Omar😍 Myghood!! Can't wait for the Season 2!!😭😍😍
They are perfect for the roles. Definitely one of my favorite series now
best netflix series i’ve seen it’s so so good. well done to all the actors and people behind the scenes! really hope to see a season 2 announcement soon.
I've seriously never watched anything better. I could watch 10 seasons of these two and not get bored. Wilhelm and Simon are the best ever❤️
When Edwin spontaneously blurts out that the emotionally, intense kissing scenes were terrific, he is so proud of these two guys making out with.a guy in front of cameras, the entire cast, director, etc., and millions of viewers, and the two agree it was wonderful that no one flinched, hesitated, or held back a sliver of emotion: whatever the quality of their relationship feelings towards the other, platonic, or real attraction, they are proud of being who the are, two guys acting love scenes between two guys, with such verisimilitude that we believe they are really in love, proud of showing that, and at ease in their strength to be who they are...all the scenes when the two are physically intimate has no pretence, very cell in their bodies feels the moment when two guys are in love: f**k what the world thinks or says. Bravo, bravo, bravo.
yessss
they have an amazing chemistry
I just finished watching the whole season 1 after this and please I want more their is so much more that needs to be there, but I have to say I'm in absolute love with this show , their chemistry was perfect absolutely spot on and that could be seen in this interview as well 😭 they're perfect. Netflix gimme a part 2 😭
just watched s1, can’t get enough of these two damn. their acting & chemistry 10/10😮💨
Their chemistry is so strong! I love them both!! ❤️
This show was sooo goood! Should have been longer than just 6 episodes 😭😭 but those 6 episodes were such an emotional roller coaster though ❤️ we need season 2 ASAP
An excellent and witty Q&A! Hats off to you both boys. Your conversation and the show itself addresses several valid points. Well done!!
i literally need a giant photo of Omar on my wall like how is any human that fucking pretty like he is so gorgous
TRUEE.THOSE EYES THOSE CURLS AHHHHHHH
Fr, he is really cute ngl
I love that european series are getting the recognition they deserve in the last few years
I'm sooooo addicted to this show right now.. Please Please Please give us the second season as soon as possible.. 💕
Omar's smile is soo cute 🥰😭
I would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for the team of this series. This make me happy for this year that I haven't been this happy in a long time and i love their chemistry in and out of character. LOVE YOU GUYS WE WAIT FOR SEASON 2
We need season 2!! The show was incredible😭♥️ I haven’t watched a show this good in a long time! the chemistry between the characters was amazing, i just love them so much!!
My eyes tear up when I think about the impact that shows like Young Royals, which portrays love between people of the same gender as natural and precious, will have on young people who are exploring their sexualities. Simon’s and Wilhelm’s storylines validate queer youth’s experiences-the good and the bad. The visibility of queer protagonists on screen assures queer youth that their identities are not shameful.
6:45 they are so cute with those little smiles
