Season 2 of The Empress is now under production but may take some time to air. Below, you’ll find all the information we have about Season 2.
The Empress, a historical drama released on Netflix in September 2022, immediately won over the hearts and minds of people all around the world. Fans of the German-language series based on the life of Austria’s Empress Elisabeth “Sisi” will be pleased to learn that production on a second season has already been given the go-ahead. This means that viewers can look forward to more palace intrigue, stunning costumes, and steamy romances.
After the dramatic cliffhanger at the end of Season 1, viewers were understandably upset and hoping for a resolution in Season 2. Everything we know about Season 2 is shown below.

Know the Release Date!
Season 2 of The Empress has been officially renewed by Netflix. Elisabeth’s pregnancy and the first few years of motherhood up until the terrible loss of her firstborn child is set to be the focus of the second season.
Season 2 has not yet been scheduled for broadcast. The delay in the release of the second season is really disappointing. WhatonNetflix predicts that 2024 will be the debut year for The Empress Season 2.
From the release schedules of other Netflix historical dramas like Bridgerton and The Crown, we may infer that a second season won’t arrive until at least a year after the first.
