Netflix has now found two main actors for its series “The Empress”: Deviram Linganu has moved into the role of Sissi, who later became Empress of Austria-Hungary, while Philippe Frisant will play the role of Emperor Franz. Katharina Eisen (already “Raj Time”), initially a six-part series listener.
Shooting of “The Empress” is scheduled to begin in spring 2021, with the series planned for release 2022. Showrunner Eyssen Comments: EMPRESS allows us to tell the moving story of Empress Elizabeth to today’s audiences. In line with a modern image of women. Devrim is not only a highly talented, multi-faceted actress, but also a symbol of this woman to me: intelligent, passionate, rebellious.

The life and love story of Queen Elizabeth – commonly known as “Sissy” or “Sissy” – has inspired audiences in Germany, Austria and Switzerland for generations. According to earlier information, this adaptation of the life story seeks to differentiate itself from the glamorous “Sissy” films: in the first season of its planned adaptation, however, the plot is initially limited to the first months when Sisi Viennese has had come.

For example, Emperor Franz Josef has never been described as a complex, fragile ruler, although he had an immense influence on European history. His brother is also said to play an important role in Netflix’s Sissy series.
