Berlin - August 17, 2022 - Elisabeth is an extraordinary young woman when she meets and falls in love with Franz, Emperor of Austria. Upon the royal wedding, she becomes – almost overnight – one of the most powerful women at the Viennese court. The fragile young love of the two is put to the test by power struggles, intrigues and the strict conventions at court. Elisabeth must find her way – for herself, her marriage and Austria.

Netflix presents a first teaser trailer of The Empress, offering glimpses into the life of the rebellious and unique Elisabeth, as well as the most important people around her: the inexperienced Emperor Franz and his fractured relationship with his rival brother Maximilian, as well as his powerful mother Sophie.

About The Empress

When rebellious Elisabeth (“Sisi”) meets Franz, Emperor of Austria, the young couple’s extraordinary love completely jumbles the dynasty’s power structure. After the wedding, the young empress not only has to find herself in a world that is strange to her, but also has to assert herself against Sophie, her mother-in-law, who before had been the most powerful woman at court. Furthermore, Franz’s unpredictable brother Maxi, who, as the second born, has always stood in the shadow of his powerful brother, turns Sisi’s emotional world upside down. While enemy troops are forming up at the borders of the Habsburg empire, a new revolution lies in the air in Vienna. Elisabeth has to find out who she can trust and what it costs to become the empress and figure of hope for an entire nation.
