TORONTO (May 13, 2026) – Revelry and renovations reign once again in Season 2 of the CTV Original docuseries QUEEN OF THE CASTLE as the full season drops on Crave, Friday, May 29. The series also airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CTV Life Channel beginning June 3.
The 10-episode, hour-long lifestyle series follows Ann Kaplan Mulholland, who returns to rule her ever-expanding and ambitious plan of transforming a historic medieval castle in Kent, England, into a luxurious, world-class destination fit for modern royalty – this time with bigger events, bolder ideas, and even more pressure, as renovations, new businesses, and extravagant celebrations collide.
Following an inaugural season filled with sweeping renovations, lavish weddings, and the debut of the castle’s bar and bistro, Ann’s vision only grows more ambitious as she sets her sights on expanding her queendom. In Season 2, no turret is left unturned, as Ann hosts opulent wellness retreats and high-fashion spectacles, all while steering Lympne Castle toward its ultimate coronation as a fully realized luxury hotel. But ruling a castle is no small feat. Behind the grandeur lies a court of dedicated staff navigating tight timelines, shifting priorities, and Ann’s ever-expanding decree of ideas. With her husband Dr. Stephen Mulholland — a world-renowned plastic surgeon — by her side, the pair continue their quest to breathe new life into the storied estate, proving that even centuries-old walls can bend to a bold, modern vision.
