E!'s Scripted Drama THE ROYALS Returns for New Scandalous Season 12/4

Elizabeth Hurley, William Moseley, Alexandra Park, Tom Austen, and Jake Maskall return this Sunday, December 4 at 10pm ET/PT for the most scandalous season of THE ROYALS yet. The hit scripted drama, created by Mark Schwahn ("One Tree Hill") and co-produced by Lionsgate and Universal Cable Productions, will premiere season three following the series premiere of "Mariah's World" at 9pm ET/PT.

Season three picks up two weeks after the execution of King Simon's murderer, Ted Pryce, the former head of the Royal Family's security. Queen Helena is on a mission to prove that Prince Liam and Princess Eleanor are the legitimate heirs to the throne and the children of King Simon. However, Simon's brother and the current ruler of the monarch, King Cyrus will stop at nothing to ensure the Queen cannot prove their paternity. Meanwhile, Prince Liam and Princess Eleanor are at the height of their fame and while she struggles to stand for something - or anything, a mysterious #KingLiam hashtag has begun to take England by storm, calling for an uprising in support of the hero Prince. However, unbeknownst the Royal Family, their world is on the verge of being rocked harder than ever.

Immediately following the season premiere, "The Royal Hangover" after-show returns to stream on Facebook Live. The new season will be hosted by creator Mark Schwahn and will feature rotating "Royals" talent. Fans can engage with the cast and creator each week as they watch live on THE ROYALS Facebook page at 11pm ET: https://www.facebook.com/TheRoyalsOnE/
