A fantasy, fiction podcast! Travel with two young princes as they try to save a kingdom!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SEASON 1: When Prince Rupert sets out to break the mysterious curse that's destroying his kingdom, he's ready to face whatever dastardly villain or vile monster stands in his way. What he isn't prepared for are the bewildering new emotions he feels when he meets the handsome Amir, a rival prince on a quest to save his own realm. Forced to team up, the two princes soon discover that the only thing more difficult than saving their kingdoms is following their hearts.

SEASON 2: Princes Rupert and Amir can't wait to settle down into happily ever after. But on the eve of their wedding, a powerful sorceress named Malkia invades their kingdom. Driven from their castle, the princes set off on a quest to collect an assortment of magical items that will give them the power to defeat Malkia and save their realm.

SEASON 3: Rupert and Amir are finally getting married and this time nothing is going to stop them. Not the handsome new prince who's rolled into town and only has eyes for Rupert. Not the mysterious disappearance of half the kingdom's population. Not even the End of the World. Yes, this time the princes are definitely, absolutely, 100% getting married - even if it's the last thing they do.

The Two Princes stars Noah Galvin, Ari'el Stachel, Alfredo Narciso, Mandi Masden, Samira Wiley, Wesley Taylor, Gideon Glick, CJ Wilson, Michelle Gomez, and Jonah Fields. The Two Princes was written by Kevin Christopher Snipes and directed by Mimi O'Donnell.
