I NEED to see how Simon finds out it was August. Just imagine the drama...it's going to be so good. 😭

[@thatfatginger]

wait how have I never thought of that, never realized Simon still doesn't know, it would be so dramatic after everything that went down between the two of them

[@djoldsoulkid3407]

Omg I can’t wait it’s soo many ways season2 can go

[@Gus19]

Dramaaaaaa

[@izzy.solana374]

He also need to know that Sara knew

[@Gus19]

@@izzy.solana374 yes,exactly. I think that could be worse

[@sa21de]

Symphony would have been a cool song too for that scene when Wille first sees Simon, but now I love It takes a fool to remain sane :D

[@usern0th1ng]

I dont see it actually, i really can't picture him singing that i don't feel like it would have suitable for a scene where people sing in a school choir

[@viethabm2782]

Actually he didn't sing the end of the song where the word gay is mentioned maybe it could spoil the topic since the beginning when you watch the show for the first time

[@SRM_NZ]

The best scene.......is episode 6 when Simon explains to Wilhelm at the back of Simon's house that he won't be a secret.....for the LGBTQ+ community....an extremely important message.....as for the importance of Young Royals in the greater scheme of things....it is currently the best LGBTQ+ show on the planet...and not to take away from the importance of Skam....Skam was 2016/17 and things have moved on from then......just as in a few years something else will come a along which will provide the LGBTQ+ community with a new positive.....Omar, Edvin and the entire cast and crew need to take a bow.......and we all know if there isn't at least a second season....all hell will break loose.

[@e.barrywilliams9836]

I TOTALLY AGREE SRM NZ ----- very well worded ------- THANKS.

[@nivishakawli9503]

I love when he forgets English 😭😭😍

[@joguestin]

The Swedish education system deserves all the honours. What kind of English as a third language is that?! 🤯 It takes a school to retrain brains. Oh it takes a school to retrain brains.

[@carolinecupcake9446]

We study English from the age of 7 in Sweden up until high school when we are between 16-19. And most of us use English in our day to day lives (on social media, for school/work, when we watch movies or listen to music, play video games etc.).We also study a third language from the age of 12-13 (usually Spanish/French/German) and some people study that until high school as well. Omar dropped out of school when he was 16 to pursue his music career, as he was traveling the US the semester he was supposed to transfer to high school so he only studied English in school until he was 15. But he probably learned a lot when he and the other boys in his former band traveled and most of their music is in English (they did some Spanish versions of their songs and Omar had some solos in Spanish as well though). Omar did not know Swedish when he first moved here, so he also had to learn Swedish from the age of six as well.

[@nhule8442]

@@carolinecupcake9446 so what's his mother tongue 😅?

[@carolinecupcake9446]

@@nhule8442 Omar's first language is Spanish. That is why some of his old band's songs are partly in Spanish or there is a Spanish version of them. He lived in Venezuela with his mother until he was six. Then they moved to Sweden because his mother had met a Swedish man that she married. So he learned Swedish from age 6. And then he learned English in school as well.

[@VNn2023]

Finland's school system is the best and Sweden system is ispirate by it. P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

[@nadjarohman]

Okay but like.. We need all those songs.. Like we need the christmas songs, we need the other song that didn't make it to the EP.. GIVE IT TO US OMAR!!

[@allanapereira8200]

the other song is Your Song from Elton John (he said that in a insta story). I would LOVE to hear this song in Omar's voice!

[@nadjarohman]

@@allanapereira8200 I NEED THAT SONG NOW!!!!

[@mllekaori05]

Maybe he can release them on Christmas ! That would be a good gift ! Finger cross !!

[@e.barrywilliams9836]

ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU, NADJA. PLEASE OMAR!! As a professional musician -- PLEASE -- ALL THE MUSIC!!!!!

[@guvare8905]

and to them to be on spotify, like pleasssssse

[@yasmeenkhan2957]

Drama... for sure. Imagine Simon finding out that August leaked the video, and also finding out that Sara knew this whole time.... yet Sara still made out with August and asked him for things in exchange of not exposing him for leaking the video. Simon is going to be heart broken because they promised to always tell each other everything

[@TFCinWDC]

AND remember: August can only think that it was Sara that told Wilhelm...He couldn't possibly know about pixels

[@lilia4455]

Samee

[@fairytale9829]

welcome to Season 2 😶‍🌫😔😞😩

[@iceastone]

Which is what happened in S2.

[@stepanovaak]

great interview!! actually when i think about it..if we didn't know about Omar and someone completely different played the role of Simon, it would seem normal to us, but now that Simon is played by Omar, I really can't imagine anyone else playing it! it's just all perfect and fitting! can't describe how muuuuuuch i love that serie and how much it means for me..

[@wrightgregson9761]

the word i think you were looking for is "synergy". I think the fish naming scene is utterly original and touching and believable. I think it is going to become a classic scene.

[@TFCinWDC]

Fun fact: According to the recounting by the Intimacy Coordinator, it was Omar's idea at the last moment...though it was not improvised on the spot...and the names he thought up are the other members of his band! hahaha

[@EmilyLuves]

@@TFCinWDC It was Edvin's idea but Omar changed up the names a little.

[@Miko_Maus]

That scene is beautiful, yes, but Omar is the most beautiful thing on that screen! What a great debut!

[@hollyrosewood1038]

loved this interview all the answers are soo great. I cant wait to see what will happen in season 2, definitely agree, the drama is going up to a level 2.

[@fortnitedabbingpikachuyt1793]

You are the best and also the main character of YRs movie. I wish you great success.💗💚💙

[@e.barrywilliams9836]

OMAR -- my HERO -- you do NOT HAVE TO WAIT for your time to come -- YOUR TIME IS NOW -- IT IS NOW. YOU ARE HERE and we are right here with you, anticipating your every next move.......bask in the light and glory of your amazing success and in the beauty of your character and YOUR OWN INNER BEAUTY.

[@laura.yrkl_4456]

Ahhh love it. Actually checked if the subtitles for the other one are finally there but then this came up and I just freaked out and had to watch it directly…😂

[@kjkeim2504]

He is new to me but I think he is up and coming!

[@penboyasgod6103]

This series has yet to relieve us of Wilhelm's continuous WREFS* condition since the first choir performance. He's had 2 relief sessions so far, but that's not enough for all of us to know he's actually getting better. Hopefully, Season 2 will provide US [the watchers], and of course, Wilhelm and Simon some needed relief and pleasure. * Wilhelm's Royal Erection For Simon

[@gabriellabm]

thank you for this interview symphony would've sound soooo dreamy sang by the choir!! Love his studio version

[@jazzerdoc2448]

Great questions and great answers! I read the article, but thanks for giving us a bit more of Omar’s answers on video. I love how excited he is about the series and 🤞🏼 for season 2! Kelly 🤘🏽✌🏼 . xx #YoungRoyalsMom🥰

[@penboyasgod6103]

*Season 2:* Wilhelm skips a royal event and "borrows" a car to go see Simon and spend the night. Simon just can't refuse spending a night with Wilhelm. Simon's body is just too smooth and hot to ignore.

[@andiswazondi3250]

Is it confirmed that there is going to be a season 2!?!?!

[@annet7230]

Not yet, unfortunately:(

[@thelastofthemachines]

People ask this a lot, and I think the answer is an obvious yes (and it probably has already been renewed, and the cast has been warned against saying anything because Netflix has such strict rules on spoilers.) In fact these interview questions are very similar to other interview questions both leads have been asked. And it's no suprise. Netflix is notorious for giving the cast a set of talking points to stick too.Although this cast is young and had trouble sticking to them sometimes, especially on social media (which I find adorable.) This show was originally created for Sweden and luckily shared with other countries. All it had to do was remain in the top 10 in Sweden and the surrounding Nordic countries, and it would have likely been renewed. And it remained top 10 in Sweden for over a month, and top rated in other Nordic countries as well. It's probably one of Netflix Nordic's most streamed shows of 2021. I am always befuddled when people ask about Season 2. Like ofc there will be. Still I know how you feel, it would be nice to have a cute official announcement.

[@radzz0624]

yupp, they started officially recording for season 2 this month !! :D

[@catalinaperez1302]

Season 2 on November 1st !! 😍

[@jetd.7541]

❤️

[@e.barrywilliams9836]

Can anyone PLEASE tell me what Omar has on his chain around his neck? Looks great -- hope it's available for us out here to get something like it..................

[@eugenefrankmd5433]

That is the exact coin that Ed was wearing in another interview. Either they agreed not to were the same necklace at the same time, or they exchange the one: probably they each have the same necklace.

[@Ana-qd3pg]

❤❤

[@carina4700]

Why is nobody talking about how he is going to release a song soon????

[@Em_1101]

when was this filmed?

[@meghnanaskar562]

when we all erik because of all the drama in s2 imma blame it all on omar

[@allanapereira8200]

"when we all Erik" hahahahahahaha

[@penboyasgod6103]

twaaja; Most likely, Wilhelm will text Simon to let him know and that could be the impetus for Wilhelm to [skip a royal event?] see Simon again. Or, Wilhelm can't control himself after Xmas break and sees Simon in Bjardstalm.

[@penboyasgod6103]

*Season 2 [or 3?]:* As the Crown Prince, Wilhelm convinces his mother (the Queen) to offer more rights / educational classes to educate their public about LBGTQ+ issues.

[@kamilasaguaye1841]

Omar just wants more drama 😭

[@wonniecore6619]

am i seriously the only one who gave Wilhelm the nickname William? like-

[@arin7005]

yeah?? because his name is wilhelm and his nickname is wille. you just gave him an english name

[@yantahy6917]

I love my baby

[@VNn2023]

He is so charming! ❤❤❤😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰 I'm a girl and I love him! Is he single?

[@eugenefrankmd5433]

Omar says he has never been in love, points to Wilheim as having ben in love before. Thus in fact Omar is totally new to this experience with Wilheim: Omar's is occasional hesitation, and the excellence he acts those scenes, since they are totally new for him. Curious at 23 Omar has never fallen in love and Wilheim at 18 has had the experience.

[@timothymcclaire3276]

Are you speaking of Wilhelm the character or Edvin, the actor who plays Wilhelm? When did Omar say he's never been in love? Because you're right that is interesting that he hasn't at his age.

[@romanlew5114]

🌹❤️🤡💞👍

[@user-lp9hh2ij6s]

Why is he sitting on the floor , when there’s a sofa?🤣🤣

[@timothymcclaire3276]

Because he's Omar.

[@lilia4455]

😂

[@nhule8442]

For better view😅

[@iceastone]

Probably placed computer on a coffee table and the angle for the camera worked better sitting on the floor. It's a common thing. Not brand new.
