Straddling historical drama and the story of an extraordinary woman, The Empress now boasts a second season on Netflix.

The tumultuous life of Sissi continues with season 2 of The Empress, the German series that reimagines and updates the frequently depicted princess for both film and TV audiences. The six new episodes have been available on Netflix since November 22. Following its success on the platform two years ago, which led to its renewal, The Empress returns amidst a whirlwind of drama, politics, and feminism.

The cast of season 2 includes Devrim Lingnau reprising her role as the titular character, alongside Philip Froissant as her regal husband and Melika Foroutan as the stifling Archduchess Sophia, Sissi’s mother-in-law.

What is the Plot of The Empress?

The Empress tells the story of Sissi, the Empress who marries Emperor Franz Joseph and must learn to navigate court intrigues. In season 2, barely overcoming their first crisis, Franz and Elisabeth aim to enjoy their newfound marital bliss. However, dark clouds quickly gather over Schönbrunn Palace: the emperor finds himself facing a powerful and unexpected adversary in Europe, and the empress is pressured to produce an heir to secure the empire’s future. As fate strikes, their love is at risk of breaking apart, and Elisabeth must fight to preserve it.
