PREMIERES SUNDAY, MARCH 23 AT 9:00 PM 

Season 2 of MARIE ANTOINETTE sees Antoinette and Louis facing unprecedented challenges at the height of their power. As financial crises loom across the nation and political rivalries intensify, the royal couple must navigate an increasingly hostile court and a changing France. From Versailles to the Palais Royal, the seeds of a revolution began to take root, threatening the very foundations of France’s long-standing monarchy.

“The tension in Season 2 builds with each episode as we experience the beginning of the end for King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. The French debt is increasing with more loans, the Affair of the Diamond Necklace is scandalous, and the inner circle of Versailles is closing in on king and queen,” says Maria Bruno Ruiz, Vice President, Program Content Strategy and Scheduling at PBS. “Season 2 features incredible talent and storytelling along with spectacular breathtaking costumes and set designs that take viewers right inside the walls of the Palace of Versailles.” 

You can view the first episode of the second season of MARIE ANTOINETTE on Alabama Public Television on Sunday, March 23 at 9:00 PM.
