The first season of Blood, Sex & Royalty only has three episodes, and there’s no telling if more will be added or if the series will get a second season. Though, if it is renewed by Netflix it is likely to be released in the fall of 2023.Blood, Sex & Royalty features two British soap opera stars as its leads; you might recognize them, as well as the other cast members.
