THE ROYALS TRENDS ON NETFLIX’S GLOBAL TOP 10
The Royals have taken over — and we’re bowing down! Within days of its release, the show has stormed into number #3 in the Global Top 10 Non-English Shows with over 3 million views across 43 countries, proving that scandal, sparkle, and sass have a universal language.
They’re calling it a “rom-com drama dipped in gold”, a “palace-sized guilty pleasure”, and honestly? Wecouldn’t agree more. Fans are hooked, calling it ‘royally addictive’ and ‘high society meets high drama —and we’re here for every second,’ the love has been pouring in.
So much so, the cast says their hearts are officially melting — and we don’t blame them!
Zeenat Aman, who has made a royal return as Maji, said, "When I read the script, I knew The Royals had heart. But what’s truly special is how the audience has connected with it — especially the younger generation discovering love stories in a new light. It reminds me of why I fell in love with cinema in the first place."
Ishaan Khatter, who has garnered praise and touted a breakout star for his portrayal of Prince Aviraaj, said, “I’m thrilled about the show being binged around the world. It’s been only a few days since release and I’ve been on the receiving end of overwhelming love from all over. The Royals is a fun show with something for everyone; but also deceptively layered with drama and I’m so glad people are seeing and appreciating all that I wanted to bring to Aviraaj as a character. The fact that it’s high up on the Global Non-English Top 10 is a delight and I hope more people keep discovering it in the coming days!”
Bhumi Pednekar, who has garnered praise for her fashion and style in the show, said, “What I love about Sophia is that she’s not chasing a fairy tale—she’s building her own story. She’s sharp, independent, and not someone who’s easily swept off her feet. But even she doesn’t expect the kind of connection that sneaks up on her. I think that emotional undercurrent—of two very different people trying to meet each other halfway—is what’s really resonating with audiences. The romance isn’t just about big gestures, it’s about vulnerability, timing, and all those little moments in between. That’swhat’s making people root for her and Aviraj-Sophia as a couple!”
Global Star Nora Fatehi stated, “Being part of The Royals has been like stepping into a modern-day fairytale—only bolder, fiercer, and dripping in sequins, sass, and scandal. My character doesn’t just walk into a room, she owns it. Playing someone so unapologetically powerful has been a total thrill. The love pouring in has been overwhelming, and seeing the show trend in Netflix’s Global Non-English TV Top 10 is surreal. I’m beyond grateful to be part of something that’s redefining royalty and serving the kind of royal realness fans didn’t know they needed.”
