As a history enthusiast and avid fan of period dramas, I find myself utterly captivated by Netflix’s The Empress. The series beautifully portrays the intriguing life of Empress Elisabeth ‘Sisi’, a woman who dared to defy societal norms and carve her own path in a world ruled by tradition.
As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about the latest release from Netflix – season 2 of “The Empress”, a German historical drama series that has left me and many other fans eager to learn more. We’re all wondering who this show is inspired by, what era it portrays, and whether it’s based on real events and true stories. The talented Katharina Eyssen, with her impressive resume including “The Girl With Nine Legs” and “Holiday Secrets”, is the mastermind behind this captivating production.
Without further delay, here are all your questions about The Empress answered.
Who is the Netflix’s The Empress about?
Netflix’s series “The Empress” focuses on Empress Elisabeth ‘Sisi’ Von Wittelsbach, who was married to Emperor Franz Joseph of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Born into the regal Wittelsbach dynasty of Bavaria on Christmas Day, 1837, I, Elisabeth, have always been known for my independent and forward-thinking spirit. My parents nurtured this trait by allowing me to roam the beautiful countryside and engage in various creative pursuits. On June 8, 1867, I was crowned as the Queen of Hungary.
It’s said that the Austrian queen gained favor among the general public for various reasons. For instance, she was known to smoke, ride horses, and engage in physical activities, which were not typical at the time. Moreover, her unconventional approach to court etiquette sparked conversations, making her a popular subject of gossip. (via Tatler)
In Switzerland during a visit, Elizabeth was fatally stabbed by the Italian anarchist Luigi Lucheni on September 10, 1898. This act ultimately led to her demise.
When is The Empress set?
The Empress is set in the 1850s.
The Netflix series chronicles various aspects of Empress Elisabeth’s life during the 19th century in Austria. The first season primarily unfolds in the year 1853, while the second season, recently launched, starts three years later in 1856 and continues until 1858.
Is The Empress based on a true story and real events?
The Empress is mostly based on a true story but blends real events with fiction.
For example, History tells us that Emperor Franz Joseph opted for Elisabeth instead of her sibling Helene, who was initially thought to be his bride-to-be. Yet, the portrayal of their blossoming romance shows some differences.
Before getting married, Elizabeth showed no initial feelings for Franz, contrary to historical accounts suggesting he fell for her immediately. However, as they spent more time together, Elizabeth developed affection for Franz. (Paraphrased from ‘The World of the Habsburgs’)
