The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is reportedly a fan of the Netflix spy thriller Black Doves, which boasts an impressive 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The series, created by Joe Barton, premiered in December 2024 and was quickly renewed for a second season before its first season concluded.
Starring Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Sarah Lancashire, Black Doves follows undercover agent Helen Webb, whose covert identity is jeopardised after her lover is killed by figures in London’s criminal underworld. The show has garnered widespread praise, with viewers describing it as “fantastic television” and a “masterpiece” of British espionage thrillers.
Prince William has also shared his enthusiasm for the show, and the couple’s shared taste in television extends to other series. William has previously expressed his love for the Bourne film franchise, even asking director Paul Greengrass about a potential new instalment during a visit to BAFTA. Additionally, the Prince and Princess are known fans of Killing Eve and Game of Thrones.
Despite the royal couple’s fondness for Black Doves, a release date for its second series has yet to be confirmed. The show remains a highlight of Netflix’s 2024 lineup, and fans eagerly await further news.
