As LGBTQ+ storytelling becomes more accepted amongst the general audiences, producers behind the TV screen have been afforded an influx of creative liberties in telling their narratives. The traditional coming out trope is no longer the only topic of relevance in a queer series, and not many shows understand this better than Netflix's Swedish phenomenon, "Young Royals." This tender and feel-good coming-of-age drama is set in a boarding school with political elites and has really taken off in its second season, which debuted earlier this month. The romance between the crown prince of Sweden, Wilhelm (Edvin Ryding), and the kind immigrant Simon (Omar Rudberg), is an incredible analysis of an array of social issues within the LGBTQ+ community such as class, race, heritage, and deception. The show doesn't go about its story in the way many American queer series do, instead opting to look at the struggles of these teen characters through the eyes of a royal family and the pressures of that corrupt structure. ⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio for more on @EDGEmedianetwork ⁠ ????⁠ ?: Netflix
