The Royals represents a 2025 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy drama television series crafted by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana with screenplay by Neha Veena Sharma. Pritish Nandy Communications handled production duties, featuring an ensemble lineup comprising Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea, and Milind Soman. The storyline centers on a financially challenged royal family living in contemporary India who experience an unforeseen shift when the crown prince collaborates with a hospitality entrepreneur to restore their family estate into a luxury resort.

Premiering on Netflix May 9, 2025, the show garnered divided critical responses. Although Khatter, Samat, and Tanwar's acting, along with the costumes and production design, earned widespread acclaim, Pednekar's rapport with Khatter faced negative reception, direction was deemed insufficient, and the plot encountered criticism for its lack of emotional substance. The production received approval for a second season on May 28, 2025.
