Fans were also asking when the new episodes are out – and we think we might be able to expect them at the end of 2022 or early 2023.

So what is the popular teen drama about? The synopsis reads: "When Prince Wilhelm arrives at the prestigious boarding school Hillerska he finally gets an opportunity to explore his true self and find out what kind of life he really wants.

Are you excited for season two?

"Wilhelm starts dreaming of a future filled with freedom and unconditional love far away from the royal obligations - but when he unexpectedly becomes next in line for the throne his dilemma is heightened as he has to make a choice. Love or duty."
