That’s what season two is about
In the second season, Sisi and Franz finally get the long-awaited heir to the throne with the birth of their son. But the happiness is overshadowed by the power struggles in Europe. Otto von Bismarck threatens to drive Austria into a new war. Sisi tries with all her might to be there for her husband and her country. When she has to travel to Hungary on a political mission, she meets Count Andrássy. Torn between her husband and the rebel leader, Sisi eventually faces a difficult decision.
the first season of the RTL+ series took viewers’ hearts by storm in December 2021 and delivered the most successful fictional reboot of all time on the streaming service. The second season is scheduled to be broadcast on RTL+ at the end of 2022.
