Ich will tell you an eine kleine secret, my lieblings spylings, so listen very carefully - I spy with my little eye that the highlight of this year's festive television programmes won't be some cute and cosy little British series or
Sisi will be the highlight of holiday programmes
some of them sweet Hallmark movie lemonades, but a six part German saga SISI. Why, you may ask? Because it will air these holidays in the larger part of Europe. As of December 12th it will stream on RTL PLus in Germany and air on France television, and after the streaming premiere it will also air on regular mothership channel RTL on December 28th, 29th and 30th and also on Austrian national broadcaster ORF. Before that, from December 26th it will start airing on Epic Drama Serbia and in all other Balkan countries that

Sisi series The Empress sometime next spring and that we also have Corsage movie coming up with Vicki Krieps playing the empress in her later years when, superficial and vain, she couldn't really handle the fact she was getting old so she started using all kinds of insane cosmetics treatments while calming her imperial nerves with bad old cocaine. That pretty much turned her into Europe's original rock star after her death and the legend of her beauty and vanity resulted in merchandise about her selling like hot cakes at the end of the 19th century.
 
 SISI THE SERIES
tells the love story of two young people between personal desires and political constraints. How do they bring power, feelings and political duties together?
Sisi starts airing December 12th
Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, who is called Sisi (Dominique Devenport), is considered to be the most beautiful woman in Europe. She defies courtly customs and uses her popularity for her ideals. Her partner, Franz Joseph I (Jannik Schuman), feels the weight of the crown and finds an unusual ally in Sisi.The series tells of the dichotomy between personal desires and political pressures, between power and vulnerability of an extraordinary woman. Duchess Elisabeth in Bavaria, called Sisi, is a carefree teenager who falls head over heels in love with a man who is powerful, attractive and

desirable - but also has a dark and dangerous side: Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria. Sisi rises to the challenge and develops from a Bavarian girl to a self-confident, adult empress. But on her way, Sisi has to learn to make difficult decisions, to deal with loss and to play an independent role as a modern empress.

EUROPEAN LOCATIONS
The drama series is a modern retelling of the subject of the Empress of Austria-Hungary, which has already been adapted many times. The version is based on historical events and shows Sisi as a complex personality from heryouth. It was shot in various European locations to capture the historical flair. These include the old town of Riga, the Latvian capital, and Lithuania's capital Vilnius, which stand for historical Vienna. In Vilnius, for example, the

    1. I don't think I will personally as I've thrown the TV out of the house years ago when our dictator came to power, but I hope it will appear quickly on torrents with subs :)
      I cannot imagine which network would buy it for USA, they don't really do German stuff LOL Maybe if Amazon buys it at some point.

    2. Not really, they do german stuff. I’ve told u Hulu has the rights to Das Boot, MHz has plenty of German series (They showed The Turncoat); Netflix has Babylon berlin, Charite, Dark, Perfume and their own co-productions like Oktoberfest and Barbarians, and that Austrian aberration Freud. Tubi has some German stuff too like Generation Kill. And PBS Masterpiece has that wonderful thing called Walter Presents that carries a lot of German material, specially the latest period pieces

    3. Then maybe some of them buys it, but not Netflix as they have their own Sisi.
