The Royals is returning with its second season, but with a major creative shift. The upcoming The Royals Season 2 will no longer focus on romance, and actor Bhumi Pednekar will not be part of the new chapter.
In season one, Bhumi starred opposite Ishaan Khatter as one of the lead characters. However, the makers have now decided to take The Royals Season 2 in a different direction, focusing more on family dynamics rather than a romantic storyline.
The Royals Season 2 Shifts From Romance To Family Drama
According to a report, the creators of The Royals Season 2 have chosen to change the core tone of the show. Instead of continuing as a romantic comedy, the series will now evolve into a family drama.
A source shared that what truly connected with viewers in season one was not the love story but the royal family itself. The interactions between Sakshi Tanwar, Zeenat Aman, and Ishaan Khatter received the most appreciation from the audience.
The source explained that The Royals Season 2 will now build on that response, focusing more on the royal family world and its internal relationships.
Why Bhumi Pednekar Is Not Returning
The decision for Bhumi Pednekar’s exit from The Royals Season 2 is not due to any conflict, but a creative direction change. The makers reportedly felt that the unresolved romantic storyline from season one would not be carried forward.

The source clarified that there was no disagreement with Bhumi and that the story is simply being allowed to evolve organically based on audience response. As a result, the romantic track has been dropped entirely from The Royals Season 2, leading to her exit.
Bhumi Pednekar Focuses On New Projects
While she will not return in The Royals Season 2, Bhumi Pednekar is moving ahead with several new projects. She is reportedly set to reprise her role as a troubled cop in Daldal 2 on Amazon Prime Video.
In addition, she is also expected to be part of actor Imran Khan’s comeback film, which will stream on Netflix. The project is currently under development and has been kept under wraps.
With these developments, The Royals Season 2 is set to mark a major shift in tone, moving away from romance and focusing instead on deeper family storytelling.
