Netflix has released first images last month and now we also have the trailer for the third and final season of their historical series THE EMPRESS about Austro Hungarian empress Sisi which will stream from November 12th with  Devrim Lingnau back as kaiserin Elisabeth and Philip Froissant as kaiser Franz.

After the devastating Sardinian War, Emperor Franz (Philip Froissant) returns a traumatized man. The guilt of having lost thousands of young men on the battlefield weighs heavily on him. Elisabeth (Devrim Lingnau Islamoğlu) tries to stand by him — she fights passionately for her marriage while at the same time advocating for what would now be right for the empire — yet in vain. While Franz’s infidelity further shakes the marriage, resistance at court and her own health force Elisabeth to leave Vienna and set off to a distant island to recover. By chance, the Empress meets the leader of the Hungarian revolution, Count Andrássy (Dejan Bućin), on her journey. Their encounter is immediately marked by strong intellectual and physical attraction. Almost simultaneously, Franz’s brother Maximilian (JohannesNussbaum) sets off on a great adventure with his wife Marie (Josephine Thiesen): he is to ascend the imperial throne in far-off Mexico. In the end, Elisabeth must decide: follow her heart unconditionally, or be a sincere empress to her people.

NEW GERMAN TV SERIES ON ACORN TV

The story follows Dr. Eric Leonhard (Moritz Otto), a surgeon and ER doctor who signs on as the physician on a cruise ship. The crew don’t suspect that the real reason he’s joined them is to conduct his own investigation into the disappearance of his pregnant wife, Sarah, who vanished without a trace several months ago. With the police investigation having yielded no results, and Eric convinced that Sarah and his child, who must’ve been born by now, are still alive, he is determined to find them. Seeing a photograph of Sarah at the bar of a cruise ship is what prompts him to sign on as the ship’s doctor. Once on board, though, Eric trusts no one, as any crew member could potentially be involved in the disappearance.

But Amadeus’ erratic behavior  jeopardizes their plan. So, she slips into the role of her brother, performing for the Emperor disguised as Amadeus – captivating the entire court and  drawing the envy of Mozart’s greatest rival, Antonio Salieri. But her bold stunt quickly gets out of control.
