Today, Netflix took toTwitterto release the official trailer for their upcoming rom-com,The Royal Treatment. Under the direction ofRick Jacobson(Ash vs Evil Dead,Knightfall), the film will star former Disney leadsLaura Marano(Austin & Ally) andMena Massoud,who is best known for his starring role as another romantic leading man, in Disney’s live actionAladdin.
The Royal Treatment, filmed in New Zealand, centers around New York salon owner and hair guru Isabella (Marano), and prince of the fictional Lavania, Thomas (Massoud). Isabella is a confident stylist, who doesn’t shy away from telling it how it is, always giving her honest opinion no matter how harsh it may be. Quite the opposite, Prince Thomas is stuck doing everything his family asks of him, including following through with an arranged marriage, for which he harbors no romantic feelings for his bride to be.
Things are flipped upside down for the pair when Isabella and her two best friends and coworkers are given the chance (along with a payment of $50,000) to travel to Lavania to work the royal wedding. Upon arriving at the dreamy location and larger than life castle, Isabella meets the prince and the two have immediate chemistry, and throughout the rest of the film, the duo dance along the line of platonic friendship and romantic interest as they must now decide whether to follow their hearts or familial duty.
