The Empress: Learn German With Empress Sisi & The Royal Court

Netflix released its newest royal series this September called The Empress in English or Die Kaiserin in German. The show is about the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, also known as Sisi, the 19th-century people’s princess. The six-part period drama is both captivating and fascinating, taking over screens everywhere with a cliffhanger ending that leaves you wanting more. I couldn’t help but wonder: Dear Netflix, will there be a season 2 of Die Kaiserin?

According to the streaming platform, the period series is swoonworthy, emotional, and romantic. So if you’re missing some kind of a burning Bridgerton-esque show, The Empress might be able to help. The show's original language is filmed in German, but if you prefer to hear it dubbed in your native language then feel free to scroll over Netflix's language choices. On the other hand, Netflix provides a choice of more than 20 different languages if you'd rather watch with subtitles.
