Pritish Nandy Communications’ The Royals has once again proven that it is royalty indeed! Almost 2 months into its release, and the show, created by the Nandy Sisters Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy, continues its strong run on Netflix India, currently sitting proudly at 6 on the streaming platform’s Top 10 TV Shows list. For a series that premiered on May 9, its sustained presence is no small feat, especially in a month packed with fresh titles vying for attention. Yet, The Royals has not only held on but continues to thrive, thanks to consistent buzz and strong word-of-mouth. What has also contributed to the show’s continued viewership, is its second season announcement. All of this is a clear indication that The Royals resonated deeply with its audience.
Headlined by Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar, and supported by a stellar ensemble cast of Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, Lira Mishra, Chunky Pandey, Luke Kenny and Milind Soman, the drama made a splashy debut, becoming Netflix India’s most-viewed original series launch of 2025. It went on to trend globally in Netflix’s Top 10 Non-English TV Shows across 58 countries, an achievement no Indian series had reached before. While it originally claimed the top spot in India, its current 5 position, multiple weeks later, is a testament to its staying power. Few shows manage to keep up momentum like this, particularly when newer releases typically dominate the rankings.
The Royals’ continued performance is a major win for Pritish Nandy Communications, reaffirming its place as a consistent player in India’s digital storytelling space. And this is not the first time PNC has managed to pull this off. With Four More Shots Please! PNC went on to build a legacy franchise with their all-female protagonists show, which was a humongous success and even bagged an International Emmy nomination. The show is currently filming its fourth season. PNC followed this up with The Royals on Netflix, and with this show also getting renewed for a second season, its longevity on the charts speaks volumes about the strength of its storytelling and appeal. Its ability to remain in the Top 10 despite the ever-changing streaming landscape is further proof that The Royals has not just made an impact, but is steadily cementing its place as a standout in the digital space. At #5 and still going strong, it continues to wear its crown with ease.
