In 2022, season 1 of the series The Empress had caused debate, but had attracted many subscribers to Netflix. German fiction was ranked in 88 countries, including France, remaining for six weeks in the top of the most watched series in the world. Suffice to say that season 2 was eagerly awaited by Sissi fans. This sequel, even more gloomy, takes place from 1856, with the birth of Elisabeth and Franz’s second child. Personal dramas and political conflicts disrupt the fragile happiness of the emperor and empress. Season 2, made up of six episodes, ends in 1859, when Franz leaves to lead the war against Italy and France. If History allows us to answer certain questions left unanswered by the series, everyone who saw the second season of The Empress wonder if a sequel is planned. Here is the answer.

Indeed, the platform will have to take into account the audiences for the second season, released only a few days ago, to decide whether to renew or cancel the program. There is, however, good news in all this: on the team’s side, a sequel is already being considered. Questioned by the German media Editorial network GermanyKatharina Eyssen explained: “I already have a third season very clear in my head“. In addition, she confided that she did not want the series to drag on. “As a viewer, with many epic, high-profile series, I think after about four seasons, it’s a good thing the book is finished.” she confided, taking the example of the series Succession which, despite its critical and public success, ended after its fourth season.
