| The Empress arrives September 29th |
When the rebellious Elisabeth meets Franz,
the Emperor of Austria, in 1853 the young couple's intoxicating love
completely upsets the power structure at the Viennese court. After the
wedding, the young empress must assert herself not only against her 
mother in law, the sovereign, power hungry Sophie, but also against
Franz's brother Maxi, who himself longs for the throne (and for Sisi). As
enemy troops
form up on the borders of the Habsburg Empire, people in
Vienna rise up in protest against the emperor. Elisabeth must find out
who she can trust and
how high the price is to be a true empress and a
figure of hope for
the people. Melika Foroutan, Johannes Nussbaum, Almila Bagriacik and 
Wiebke Puls also star. This series is not to be confused with a much more glamorous Sisi saga
that aired last December on German RTL and Epic 
Drama Channels in
Europe and that is coming back with a second season this December. Check
out the trailer below and tell us are you royally excited? 
Do you think it will be better than rival Sisi series or not? Stay tuned for more photos, I will try to dig out some new ones as the airing date approaches.

Finally! Six weeks to go and not even a decent trailer. Why is it that they keep on perpetuating a great love story that never happened or telling us Sisi was a rebellious independent woman when in fact she was a disturbed brat? At least, in the Austrian version they oversexed her and began by showing her masturbating LOL I think the great change in Netflix will be (true to their irrational historical revisionism) to turn Maximilian into a villain.
ReplyDeleteNetflix is always like that, they usually release a poster and trailer two weeks before streaming. The costumes in this one seem cheap compared to the ones in Sisi.
DeleteNetflix is going real cheapo in this publicity business. I saw Austrian Sisi on this laptop screen. Aside from being filthy is pretty dark, but yes i can tell Netflix version is not big on wardrobe. none compare to the RAI retelling of Sisi Saga.
DeleteI just hope I will manage to dig out character photo shoots from some German sites, Netflix did not do photoshoots for Barbarians either so I am not optimistic. They never invest in marketing no wonder Disney and Netflix and Hulu lost half a million subscribers in last three months according to latest reports.
DeleteI want the chair she's sitting in. lol
ReplyDeleteIt is very imperial.
DeleteGoodness...Sisi again?
ReplyDeleteThis is the last one, I promise... until the second season of RTL's Sisi that is LOL but you should be safe till November or December.
DeleteMary can have her chair. I'd like to have her hair.
ReplyDeleteSisi was indeed renowned for her long tresses.
DeleteThis is not what I was expecting at all... Although, I can't blame all of them for "wanting a piece" of that man! lol
ReplyDeleteHe is dashing, but his character is vile and evil LOL
