About The Empress
Netflix now has the TV show “The Empress” accessible. Devrim Lingnau plays the titular character in this German historical drama series, which is based on the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria. Philip Froissant plays Emperor Franz Joseph. On September 29, 2022, the show premiered on Netflix, and on November 8, 2022, a second season was ordered.
The Empress Season 2 Release Date
Season 2 of “The Empress” has officially been renewed by Netflix. The second season is anticipated to focus on Elisabeth’s pregnancy and her early years as a mother up until the heartbreaking loss of her firstborn child.
Season 2 has not yet had an official release date, though. Unfortunately, the release of the second season will take a while. According to WhatsonNetflix, The Empress’ second season is scheduled to debut in 2024.
We shouldn’t anticipate a second season until at least a year following the first season’s release based on the schedule of other Netflix historical dramas like Bridgerton and The Crown, which normally have gaps between seasons of one and two years.
Will the same cast return for season 2 of “The Empress”?
The following actors who took on the same roles in season 1 will return for “The Empress” season 2:
- Devrim Lingnau as Elisabeth von Wittelsbach
- Philip Froissant as Franz Joseph I of Austria
- Melika Foroutan as Sophie, Archduchess of Austria
- Johannes Nussbaum as Archduke Maximilian
- Almila Bagriacik as Countess Leontine von Apafi
- Jördis Triebel as Ludovika, Duchess in Bavaria
It is unknown whether any new cast members or departing cast members will appear in season 2.
The plot of season 2 of “The Empress”
Although there is no official word on the season 2 narrative, it is anticipated to follow Elisabeth’s pregnancy and her first few years as a mother up until the devastating loss of her firstborn child.
The story of Elisabeth and Franz Joseph I of Austria and their struggles at the court of Vienna will probably continue in the second season. It’s also feasible that the series may keep altering their romance’s actual past significantly. However, the precise plot of season 2 is yet unknown until additional information is made available.
How did The Empress” season 1 leave off?
Elisabeth and Franz fight after season 1 of “The Empress,” and the Empress decides to go back to Bayern since she can no longer bear the responsibility of holding the throne. Kempen informs Franz that there are 300 commoners at the gates, and Franz orders him to enhance security there and shoot anyone who even dares to move.
It was likely disappointing how unimpressively the revolution was put down. Elisabeth learns she is pregnant. Archduchess Sophie, the mother of Franz, advises Elisabeth to choose between leaving Vienna for her native Bavaria and seeking an annulment of her marriage to Franz or remaining in the palace and complying.

Many unanswered questions remain after the conclusion of the series, including whether Elisabeth can proceed with her return to Bavaria now that she has made the world aware of her pregnancy, whether she and Franz will be able to patch things up, and what will happen to the empire now that protests have begun.
