The series, which blends biopic, romance and historical drama, has captivated viewers since it was first broadcast in 2022.
In season 2 of The Empress, young Elisabeth faces new challenges after her first political storm. As her marriage to Franz Josef falters and tensions within the Viennese court intensify, Elisabeth is faced with heavy responsibilities.

The Empress is aimed at fans of historical and romantic series, looking to delve into the history of an iconic figure while exploring the personal and political challenges she had to overcome. With its blend of biopic, romance and drama, the series is reminiscent of productions such as The Crown or Victoria, but with a focus on aesthetics and the complex relationships between the characters.
