PBS has announced the premiere date for the second season of the English-language French historical drama, Marie Antoinette.
Season 2 of Marie Antoinette returns us to late 18th-century Versailles, where the French monarchy, at the height of its power, faces unprecedented challenges.
The royal couple — King Louis XVI (Louis Cunningham, Bridgerton) and Marie Antoinette (Emilia Schüle, Berlin Dance School) — must navigate an increasingly hostile court and a changing France, as financial crises are looming across the nation and political rivalries are intensifying. Meanwhile, from Versailles to the Palais Royal, the seeds of a revolution are beginning to take root, threatening the very foundations of France’s long-standing monarchy.
Marie Antoinette: Season 2 premieres in the US on Sunday, March 23, at 10pm ET, on PBS (check your local listings), with streaming available on PBS.org, the PBS App, PBS Passport, and the PBS Masterpiece Prime Video Channel.
The cast also includes Freya Mavor (Industry), Jack Archer (Call the Midwife), Jasmine Blackborow (The Gentlemen), Oscar Lesage (The Crown), Crystal Shepherd-Cross (Deadly Tropics), Roxane Duran (Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris), and Caroline Piette (Munch), amongst others.
A CANAL+ Creation Originale in association with CAPA Drama (Newen Studios), Banijay Studios France, and Beside Productions, Marie Antoinette: Season 2 is executive produced by Claude Chelli, Stéphanie Chartreux, Margaux Balsan, and Louise Ironside. Banijay Rights handles international distribution and secured the agreement with PBS Distribution for the series.
