- Ahead of the launch of season 2 on November 1st 2022, Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg who play star-crossed lovers Wilhelm and Simon in the hit @Netflix series Young Royals, speak exclusively with The Queer Review's editor James Kleinmann about why their characters make a couple worth fighting for, how they each prepare for the show's emotional scenes, and their thoughts on a Young Royals/Heartstopper crossover.
As season 2 opens, we're reunited with Prince Wilhelm (Edvin Ryding) and Simon (Omar Rudberg), and the rest of their classmates as they return to the prestigious Hillerska school following winter break. As Wilhelm tries to take revenge on his cousin August, and win back Simon’s trust, he creates problems that threaten the entire Swedish monarchy.
The first season of Young Royals is streaming now on Netflix, season 2 premiere on November 1st 2022. - Zábava
The fact that it was Omar's debut role still blows my mind. He is soooooo talented.
Well, actors started somewhere didn’t they? Stupid.
IT WAS???? Holy crap I didn’t know that???
Agree. He's amazing!
Totaly agreeeee
Soosoo thrue.. Its amazing
So much about the true nature of these beautiful young men comes through in this interview. They are both highly sensitive, deeply intelligent, and acutely aware of the conundrums of being alive. The world continues to benefit from their immense talent and auspicious presence on the planet!
the afection they have for each other off the set, is so beautiful.
i had to smile when one of them said "for a year, since the last shooting for season 1, they have been 'Edvin and Omar, not Simon and Will.
And they have genuine chemistry. Edvin and Omar talk to each other like they've been friends forever.
How a beautiful interview, they work really hard to get into their characters not just playing it in the set and that's it. They carry their characters with them, thinking about how they feel, put a playlist to understand their emotions more and more. That's exactly what makes yr a good show, the incredible cast and crew. I respect them so much
I agree with Edvin, I think a Young Royals and Heartstopper crossover is a bit much they are both very great shows but both have completely different settings and moods that I don't think would blend together well!
In my opinion, I think young royals is a more adult version of heartstopper and heartstopper is a more pg version of young royals
@@rihannabish79 Imo they aren't each other's versions because they literally have nothing in common apart from both being a queer show
I could see a crossover. Now that Wille is the Crown Prince and has publicly come out, perhaps the Crown will ship him off to a foreign land to complete his studies ie: the UK 🤔 tada! You’re welcome 😅
@@robert7567 On the surface it looks like it's possible. But: Young Royals needs a dark and hyper realistic style, while Heartstopper contradicts that with a need for a light and hyper romantic style. That's impossible to bridge, and here is why: the story world of Young Royals is unrealistic: a boarding school where a crown prince gets enchanted by the singing of a socialist low class boy. It feels however realistic, because of the realism in style: the characters have for example pretty heavy acne, which gives it even a documentary feel. Compare that to Heartstopper: the arena is from the start believable: a regular school where boy meets boy. It is so realistic, that it is almost dull, but the hyper romantic, even cartoonesque style doesn't make it dull at all. Now, imagine a Swedish prince covered with acne in an English school with kids with beautiful skin covered in a layer of cartoon butterflies, flowers and hearts... it would harm both story worlds. Both storylines will fall apart.
@@andrekloer what does the skin of the actors have to do with all of this?🙄
Can we just stop and appreciate how fluent these young men are in English although it's not their mother tongue? 😮
In Sweden everyone learns English already in primary school 🙂 That's why all the cast of YR speaks English and they all do the English dubbing of YR themselves. From age 14 to 18 Omar was in a very popular Swedish boyband that sang in English.
@@gerganakantcheva8176 Amazing
The fact that it's omar's 3rd language is even more impressive
@@gerganakantcheva8176 Even when you start english at primary school, it's not everyone who become biligual. They are both excellent!
@@stephanelarocque77 True! But generally, Swedish people are very good at English. I personally think a big reason for this is is because we are one of the few countries who never dub movies or tv shows (except movies for very young children, for obvious reasons), so we all grew up with subtitles and thus were exposed to a lot of English!
Btw, I'm not trying to diminish the fact that they are very good at English, I just mean it's very common in Sweden :)
Can we talk more about this interview? Like, wow. The questions are so original, incredible and respectuful. The interviewr is so respectful, calm and objective. Congrats! Honestly, this interview is my fav until now.
We're so glad that you enjoyed the conversation, thank you for watching and your lovely comment. Omar and Edvin were a delight to speak to.
5:45 You can tell how proud Edvin is of Omar when they talked about his song in the show!❤️
I just know I’m going to bawl my eyes out during season 2. I AM SO READY to see what’s next for these two beauties!
almost 4 dayyysss
Me 2 😔
just because young royals and heartstopper are about a love between two boys doesn't make them the same they're so different its getting annoying i beg stop ask edvin and omar about that show
YES
Exactly.
I dont see the problem, they were pleased to answer.
Interviewer asked them that becoz Omar before, had talked about crossover with heartstopper as 'fun idea'. Not in a literal sense.
@@detectivedaffodil437 theyre obviously sick of the question
Edvin is so well spoken 👏 😌
Wonderful interview! You can feel Edvin and Omar's friendship bond and it helps their chemistry as Wilhelm and Simon!
i totally agree..........
So cute they finding it strange to be Simon and Wille again lol
i think that's beautiful. You can't fake that kind of affection they have for eachother on and off the show.
Edvin’s English improved so much! I just love listening to him speaking, so well spoken
I love both the shows but I genuinely couldn't think of anything worse than a crossover between them
I agree. Heartstopper is too cute, simple and almost childish to crossover with the drama, the darkness and the heaviness of young royals
Young Royals trump’s whatever childishness is Heartstopper
Yeah they both have very different stories and very different vibes! People just found 2 popular lgbtq+ series and suddenly want a crossover.
@@Anonymous-ev3rl yes it seems like a Nigerian teenage series not Lgtbq though. It's childish 😂
@@Imetwurld_ I think it's cute a definitely good for the audience it's targeting (young teens). I do prefer young royals but I find heartstopper to be a nice break from the chaos that is reality. It's just a few hours of a simple love story that won't end up in pain.
why bring up heartstopper omg let the two shows be separated
Edvin said it's a beautiful show with many talented people working on it so there's not exactly a rivalry between the two
Oh, they just said that, so you would have a reason to get your panties all wadded up.
Edvin’s english has improved so much like wow he sounds American 😂
They saved my life just by their existence I will never thank them enough ! I love their characters but even more them at all, they are such a safe place and I when I don’t feel good, see them is like a medicine lol
i couldnt agree with you more 🥵🥵
ahaha you can clearly see that they dislike the idea of a crossover, as they should!! a crossover would be so cringe and useless. let those two shows be good in their own way.
agree. plus, it's 100% not viable. i think the possibility of both casts + the cast from other LGBTQ+ series (let's not forget about other important representations like First Kill, for example!) doing a photoshoot or a joint interview/discussion on these topics would be way, way more meaningful and possible. but that's just my opinion
Watch their gay times interview where Omar randomly pitched in the idea of crossover with heartstopper in light hearted way. Ofcourse even they know it's not possible. They were just playing with the idea for fun and nothing more.
A crossover maybe not but a cameo would be fun. Like Nick and Charlie randomly walking around in Bjästad and coming across Wille and Simon and I don't know just like running into each other with Charlie saying sorry that would be really fun
@@ContesHistoireEtLegendes ooooh a cameo might also be kinda cute
@@littlebaek10 I agree and that's as far as it might occur. It would have to appear as a very casual event.
I like the way that both express deeply feelings about their characters. They are very young and they talked like mature men . that mean that they did an excellent introspective work. Good job guys!
They're both such amazing actors, and it really shows how much they care about the story they're telling. Young Royals is a masterpiece, future classic.
Thanks for the great interview! November can't arrive fast enough! 😂🥰💜💜💜💜
their English is so good!
Even though they are not a real couple their visual looks so good together it's really pretty to look at, such an eye catching pair
Edvin is very intelligent and eloquent ❤
They both are, don’t you think?
@@rdwngdblkbrd629 yes!
I just finished watching season 2 and it was an emotional rollercoaster. I cried like 10 times😭
I really liked it too, a lot better than season 1.
Same same
Same. I had go buy an alkaline ph bottle of water I was so dehydrated after. 😂
as scandinavians their english is really good wow
Both series, Young Royals and Heartstopper are beautiful..I watch them all day long and am really looking forward to Young Royals Season 2..it will definitely be very emotional..❤🧡💛💚💜
@@grangerjung4129 yesss skam is so amazing
YR is like the older, edgier sibling of Heartstopper but love them both sm
Yes I did 2, but Young Royals holds a special place in my heart, maybe because it's more true to the real life 💙
Happy Young Royals season 2 launch day! Thanks so much to everyone who has watched our interview with Edvin and Omar, liked, commented, & subscribed. We love reading all your comments! We hope you enjoy season 2 as much as we did. #YoungRoyals #YoungRoyals2
Thank you for this interview.
IM SORRY WROTE A SONG?? I CANNOT WAIT OMG
I love how they are profoundly connected to their characters and each other. Such intelligent and intuitive fellas hence, brings this incredible success. Love is evident between them. Why not?
aaargh they're just so honest and loveable
Edvin looks a lot like his character when he's nervous while Omar looks so different, less innocent :)
That could be because Edvin is closer in age to his character and still a teenager himself, while Omar is 7 years older than his character. ☺️
@@gerganakantcheva8176 Oohh I didn't know that so cutee, thank you :D
@@snappiepappie9899 Wilhelm and Simon are both 16, Edvin was 17 during Season 1 and Omar 21. Edvin is 19 now and Omar will turn 24 in November.
edvins hair is so cute
edvin is just way too adorable🥰omg I so looking forward to s2!!!
omar is so gorgeous
OMG! Edvin and Omar are so lovely. All here for season 2😌❤️
In sure I've seen interviews in English with them before, but hadn't realised they sound like them on the show, which means they do the dubbing themselves
Yes, all the actors do the English dubbing themselves.
I am MIND BLOWN that they speak English soooo perfectly😭
Who would love to see a video of Edvin, Omar, Kit and Joe all hanging out together having fun either here in the UK or in Sweden? Me and a million other fans I guess!
The Hillerska choir goes to England & stays in town, where Nick and Charlie live.
William goes on his own, statying at a different hotel! They decided to secretly meet after the concert at a quiet gay bar they found on line & meets, Charlie & Nick, who ar on a date. They have no idea that Wilhelm is a Prince. The couples become quick friends.
@@roncaron8939 - Brilliant! That's at least a 3 season show there! 😂
I actually meant a real life meet up!
@@roncaron8939 Or Nick and Charlie could go on holiday to Sweden and visit the castle (I imagine the Royal castle of Sweden is more of a tourist attraction than Herne Bay/ Rochester), and then they just bump into Simon and Wilhelm there.
@@showmoke it's inevadable that they will meet up. They will all be invited to same awards shows.
I keep hearing Edvin talk about his Wille playlist and I need it on Spotify ASAP 😂
It is on Spotify already, Edvin uploaded it two days ago, he named it W2!
@@gerganakantcheva8176 How do we get it if we don't have/use Spotify? I don't want Spotify, I just want his playlist!
🔥⚜🔥 The fire is on! What a lovely interview. Thank you Edvin & Omar for magically bringing Wille & Simon alive. 🥰 Their love will burn hotter than ever, and it will leave painful blisters on our hearts because there is so much drama, so much pain. They way they hug int the trailer for season 2 says it all - they cannot be without each other, nor can they be together. It tears their souls to pieces and unleashes a mighty flame of desire and longing and dark thoughts. We can already feel their despair, their jealousy, their wish for revenge, their need to just bloody be with each other. Oh how I wish season 2 to have the happy end Wille and Simon deserve. And if not - there must be a season 3 to make it happen. Them not being together is NOT AN OPTION! 🔥⚜🔥
Everyone go watch Omar's music videos and listen to his album you're gonna love it :)
no doubt! i've been streaming them like crazy, moreover now that S2 is just days away from release :D
i’m so ready for season 2 only 10 DAYS TO GO! i know that it’s going to be amazing and that everybody worked just as hard as they did on s1 and that i’m going to bawl. also their english is getting so good!
these questions were amazing and edvin is so well spoken like i admire them
It’s so interesting to me how Edwin sounds very American when he talks sometimes- considering (I believe) most people learn British English and accents in most of Europe
What a brilliant interview, love these two young actors. It’s a great show and you can see how dedicated they are to it.
but anyway thank you for this interview omg simon wrote a song!!! I am not prepared
EDVIN SHARE THE PLAYLIST PLS
He said he will when s2 is out
Thanks for the interview 🙌🏻✨

My heart physically hurts, I am not gonna cope with the pain in s2😭

absolutely obsessed with this video! definitely my favorite interview of them
Young royals is just soo soo full of incredible actors I cannot wait for season 2 💜💜💜💜💜
This was a really great interview with interesting questions. Love to see that as opposed to other junkets where they ask trite or asinine questions. You can tell the interviewer actually respects and has watched the show.
Omg I am like blown away i didn't expect season two to make me cry but it did 😭 so beautiful the wait was worth it 🥺
Kudos to this 2 young amazing actor😍😍👏🏼👏🏼
guys tk a bow u guyz were brilliant i really wish i c more of you both together in s3
I love this omggg!!! They are so pretty 😭❤️
En vecka kvar!! Sen kommer säsong 2 ahhhhh❤❤❤
There are some very interesting and clever thoughts and allusions in this interview like the Method that Edvin makes, or the importance of music to get into the acting head space or the importnace of the body to manifest the psyche...Great interview with great actors who have something meaningful. to say. CAN'T WAIT for Nov 1st!!!
A really nice and informative interview. Thank you.
"Young Royals" is far better than I thought it would be! Honestly I have watched it numerous times! I love everything about! I have watched "Heartstopper" as well and I loved! I think a crossover would be super weird! I know that Omar and Edvin say otherwise, but I find the shows so dramatically different that a crossover would not be great. "Young Royals" is very serious, and plays on some tremendously interesting issues. "Heartstopper" is fun, feel good show. I love "Heartstopper", and there is so much to love! Please no crossover.
Such a great, great show. Every season's ending brings on the feelings of mourning a lost love within me. Absolutely BRILLIANTLY done!!!
Great job, bring on season 3, Netflix has approved so hurry up and bring it on.
Estos dos chicos son impresionantemente talentosos. Es maravilloso ver sus actuaciones y en ellas sus rostros son tan expresivos. Un lujo verlos. Ojalá tengan más proyectos juntos
Świetny wywiad, choć krótki .
That was such a fantastic interview I have watched it about 10 times or more thank you soooo much 😀
feel like Edvin and Omar could walk in Paris background of Heartstopper but cannot imagine anyone from Heartstopper in YR
too excited to function between now &nov1
The Hillerska choir goes to England & stays in town, where Nick and Charlie live.
William goes on his own, statying at a different hotel! They decided to secretly meet after the concert at a quiet gay bar they found on line & meets, Charlie & Nick, who ar on a date. They have no idea that Wilhelm is a Prince. The couples become quick friends.
Love them both so much🥺 loved hearing them talk about this and how precious and beautiful they are with the things they said! Lovely interview i enjoyed it so much and i'm SOOO excited for season 2 i can't wait any longer! This was so great
regarding a crossover between heartstopper and young royals, what with them being such different shows and them taking place in different countries it's pretty much impossible and wouldn't really work out anyway, but it would be cool with some sort of easter egg type thing? like, one of the heartstopper characters is scrolling though their social media page and an article about the "swedish gay prince scandal" flashes by on screen or something, that could be cool! just as a little nod that both series exist in the same universe as each other
LOVE THEM BOTH
They are both so beautifulllll
I love Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg on Young Royals from the start, but they're best friends in real life, they're from Sweden and I miss it on yesterday's video!!
i like the idea of the 'cross over' with two series. :D
Season 3 waiting
A crossover wouldn't be good, the shows works on completely different vibes.. but.. that being said... people go on vacation.. They could just pass in the background as tourists, as an easter egg... that alone would blow peoples mind :)
can we talk about how pretty and hot omar is!?!? (edvin looks cute here)
Son adorables! Y super talentosos
they are fr so pretty
I want Edvin's playlist ✋
Great interview btw
He said on twitter that he's going to post it next week. Right now he's filming stuff for his upcoming movie "The Abyss" on the Canary Islands. That's why he's not with Omar here.
@@gerganakantcheva8176 omg really?? That's so awesome, thank you for sharing :3
