Singer-songwriter Lisa Mishra has announced her participation in Netflix’s upcoming series ‘The Royals,’ set to premiere on May 9. The musician shared the news through an Instagram post that hints at a drama filled with royal intrigue.

Star-studded Ensemble

The impressive cast lineup tagged in Mishra’s post includes Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter, veteran actress Sakshi Tanwar, and iconic star Zeenat Aman. Other notable names include Nora Fatehi, fitness enthusiast Milind Soman, Dino Morea, Chunky Panday, and several other performers.

The series is backed by Pritish Nandy Communications, with several members of the Nandy family tagged in the announcement post, including Pritish Nandy, Rangita Pritish Nandy, and Ishita Pritish Nandy.

Lisa Mishra’s New Venture

Her journey into the Indian entertainment industry began when she was discovered by Sonam Kapoor through an Instagram video where Mishra was singing a mashup of songs from ‘Veere Di Wedding.’ This led to her first official Bollywood recording.

Since then, she has contributed to several film soundtracks, including ‘The Sky Is Pink,’ ‘Good Newwz,’ and ‘Shershaah.’ Known for her distinctive voice and style, Mishra has built a successful career as a playback singer and independent musician.

Busy Social Calendar

Mishra recently appeared with rapper Nas and interviewed Badshah on her YouTube show Dish & That, co-hosted with Shah Rule. She also met Pharrell Williams, calling the encounter “surreal” and wore an outfit by designer Ritwik Khanna for the occasion.

While specific details about the plot of ‘The Royals’ remain under wraps, the promotional material suggests a narrative centered around royal families, traditions, and the drama that unfolds within such settings. The crown emoji and castle imagery in the announcement post further reinforce the royal theme.

The series is set to stream exclusively on Netflix starting May 9, adding to the platform’s growing catalog of Indian content. With its impressive ensemble cast spanning different generations of Indian cinema and entertainment, ‘The Royals’ appears positioned to attract a wide audience.
