About the Netflix series The Empress
When rebellious Elisabeth (“Sisi”) meets Franz, Emperor of Austria, the young couple’s extraordinary love completely blurs the dynasty’s power structure. After the wedding, the young empress must not only find herself in a world that is foreign to her, but also assert herself against Sophie, her stepmother, who was previously the most powerful woman at court.
Also, Franz’s unpredictable brother Maxi, who as the second born always stood in his powerful sibling’s shadow, turns Sisi’s emotional world upside down. As enemy troops form on the borders of the Habsburg Empire, a new revolution looms in Vienna. Elisabeth must find out who she can trust and what it costs to become the empress and the figure of hope for an entire nation.
