Telly’s Take
Will E! cancel or The Royals for season five? Back in December of 2017 though, the creator was fired in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations. Whether or not that affects this show’s chance to continue remains to be seen. The ratings have seen a significant drop but my sense is that E! wants to continue to dabble in the scripted TV business. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Were you hoping that The Royals TV show would be renewed for season five? Are you sorry that E! cancelled this TV show, instead?
The Royals was so enjoyable. It was the best thing on E. If the ratings went down it might have been the long wait between Season 3 and 4. The series had a top notch cast and the twists and turns kept us all waiting like cats to see what was about to happen next. The Royals made Sunday evenings sparkle, let’s not dim that light. Bring back The Royals.
Please return please please please! Don’t leave us hanging.
The Royals is my guilty pleasure, I binge watched it all again over the weekend and desperately want to see what happens next. Fingers crossed it gets picked up for another season at least, it’s so much fun to watch.
I love The Royals! I hope someone is smart enough to bring them back for a fifth season. Please don’t leave us hanging. Love all of the characters and actors. They have great chemistry.
Janice, i totally agree with you. Please we need another season.
Why not starting a new show, after 2 years of low rating – cancell and realise that you actually should have renewed this masterpiece for 5 season. Why should always cancell the best and who cares about the director, find new one and really hope renew for season 5. Its worth it!
