The historical drama series “Marie Antoinette” premiered a few days ago on PBS, but has already been renewed for a second season due to its worldwide popularity.

The French series, which follows the life of the famous Queen of France, played by Emilia Soule, has already garnered huge audiences and rave reviews around the world.

The first season of Marie Antoinette focuses on the teenage princess’s arrival in Versailles and her struggles with the complex rules of the French court while trying to live her life the way she wants. The series also explores the tensions between her and her husband, the Dauphin of France, played by Louis Cunningham, and the pressure she receives from her mother, the Empress of Austria, played by Marta Keller, to continue the Bourbon generation.

According to Variety, the second season will delve into how the royal couple faced an unprecedented financial crisis and faced attacks from the nobility of Provence and Chartres. These events lead to disastrous consequences that will test the limits of their power and their relationship.
