Netflix's German Period Drama 'The Empress' Returns for Season 2 in November
Netflix's German period drama The Empress was a surprise hit for the streamer when it premiered in late 2022. It won an International Emmy for Best Drama series the following year, and anticipation for its second season has been steadily growing ever since. Luckily, we won't have to wait much longer for The Empress's story to continue; Netflix has confirmed a November release date for Season 2.
The series follows the story of Elisabeth of Bavaria --- known almost universally as Sisi ---- a German princess who marries an Austrian emperor for love and must subsequently navigate a difficult world of intrigue and tension at the Habsburg court.
Sisi's fairytale romance with Emperor Franz Joseph captivated a nation. It catapulted her to instant celebrity and public acclaim, though life in the restrictive world of the public eye was never something she particularly wanted or was prepared for.
