The first batch of images has been released from the highly anticipated second season of Hulu's period comedy-drama The Great and it looks like Catherine's rise to power is all but complete.

A wildly entertaining if not exactly historically accurate take on the life of a young Catherine the Great, the Hulu series chronicles her journey from outsider to Empress, and eventually the longest-reigning female ruler in Russia's history. Season 1 saw Catherine and her supporters plotting a coup against her husband, Emperor Peter III, though the finale concluded without confirming whether or not she was successful.

Given that one of these images features Catherine wearing coronation garb and sporting Russia's imperial crown, that question now seems to have been answered.
