Lisa Ambjörn of Young Royals I've Never Said This Before With Tommy DiDario
-
- Entertainment News
This week, Tommy is joined by the brilliant screenwriter and showrunner, Lisa Ambjörn, best known for co-creating the smash hit Netflix series, Young Royals. The series became an international phenomenon the moment Season 1 dropped, and is one of the most important shows on television for the LGBTQ+ community. Young Royals is a drama about freedom, love and structural inequality embodied in a 16-year-old Swedish prince who falls in love with a working class boy. With the full final season officially out now, Lisa joins the show to dive into a series that means so much to so many (and yes, there will be plenty of spoilers in this conversation so make sure you are all caught up on the final episode). Today, she opens up about if she always knew how she wanted Young Royals to end, what working on that final scene was like, why Omar and Edvin were the right choices to play the leading men, if she would have done anything differently throughout the series, what impressed her the most with Omar and Edvin’s performances, the thing she is most proud of with the show, how it is so important to let people love who they love, and why there will always be an element of queerness in her future projects.
