What Is ‘The Royals’ About?
While specific details about the plot remain under wraps, Netflix’s ‘The Royals’ appears to be centered around royal family drama and intrigue. Recent promotional posts from the series’ social media accounts describe it as having elements that are ‘Thoda sa dramatic, thoda sa romantic’ (a bit dramatic, a bit romantic), with the cast being described as ‘iconic.’ The series is set to premiere on Netflix on May 9, 2024, and is being produced by Pritish Nandy Communications, as indicated in previous promotional posts for the show.
Star-studded Ensemble Cast
‘The Royals’ features an impressive lineup of talent including Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter, Sakshi Tanwar, and veteran actress Zeenat Aman. The cast also includes Nora Fatehi, Milind Soman, Dino Morea, Chunky Panday, and several other notable performers. Lisa Mishra, primarily known for her music, appears to be involved with the project, potentially contributing to its soundtrack or possibly appearing in the series itself.
Lisa Mishra’s Musical Journey
For those unfamiliar with Lisa Mishra, she rose to fame through her YouTube covers before making her Bollywood playback singing debut. Mishra is an Indian-American singer and songwriter who gained significant attention after her mashup of the songs ‘Tareefan’ and ‘Let Me Love You’ went viral on social media. The cover caught the attention of Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor and producer Rhea Kapoor, which led to her recording the reprise version of ‘Tareefan’ for the film ‘Veere Di Wedding’ (2018). Since then, she has worked on various film soundtracks and independent music projects.
Recent Activities
Mishra has been quite active on social media recently, sharing glimpses of both her professional and personal life. She has also been busy with her YouTube talk show ‘Dish & That,’ where she interviews various personalities. One recent episode featured rapper Badshah, whom she described as a ‘real legend on & off the mic.’
Additionally, Mishra was recently featured by ELLE India as part of their #ELLEImpact2025 initiative, where she spoke candidly about ‘the challenges she’s faced navigating a male-dominated society’ and ‘the complexities of belonging,’ emphasizing ‘the strength it takes to carve out space in a world that often undermines women’s voices.’
The Royal Excitement Builds
As the release date for ‘The Royals’ approaches, Netflix and the cast have been ramping up promotion for the series. Another recent post described the show using the tagline ‘Pyaar. Pratha. Parampara’ (Love. Ritual. Tradition) followed by ‘Ab hoga royal drama’ (Now there will be royal drama).
With its star-studded cast and intriguing royal premise, ‘The Royals’ is positioning itself as a major addition to Netflix’s Indian content lineup this May. Fans of Lisa Mishra and followers of Indian streaming content will be marking May 9 on their calendars for what promises to be an engaging blend of drama, romance, and royal intrigue.
