From private rituals to public smiles, nothing escaped the streaming giant’s gaze. Netflix will premiere Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story globally, turning intimate moments of their unconventional romance, part royal protocol, part shamanic mysticism, into bingeable content.

From their June 2022 engagement to Durek seeking King Harald V and Queen Sonja’s blessing, Netflix may reveal all the behind-the-scenes chaos, turning royal tradition into bingeable, subscription-ready drama.
