There are those on Netflix right now who like serial killers, and there are others who prefer a little more romantic tales. After its release in late September, the German series L’Impératrice was a success, quickly reaching second place in the ratings behind Dahmer. Centered on the famous monarch, it chronicles her early years at court, following her meeting and marriage to François-Joseph.
Sissy is played on screen by the young Devrim Linnau, who breathes modernity into the character with her mischievous and cheeky gaze. Less sultry than the last adaptation offered by TF1, but more modern than Romy Schneider’s films, The Empress will appeal with its tone, cast and scenes, which viewers say brings it closer to Reign and The Crown:
I watched The Empress on Netflix about the life of Empress Elizabeth “Sissy” and loved it! I preferred this to the version that aired on TF1 last year. The actors who play Sissy and Franz are amazing. This is a great success 👏🏻 pic.twitter.com/PiiNcUW1kQ

I started The Empress on Netflix, I really like it! Pursuant to The Crown. I didn’t know Sissy’s story at all, it’s fascinating, sad, but fascinating.

The Empress is already #2 on Netflix and is well on its way to dethroning Dahmer’s incredible series!
A very pleasant series to watch, like a good hot bath 😊

I just finished the new Netflix series The Empress and it’s a 10/10. It’s incredible, I really liked it. I finished it in 2 days because it made me addicted. On the other hand, I’ve been waiting a year for the second season, I want to cry already. #Empress

I started the new series Sissi the Empress which is on Netflix and my little boy was heartbroken by the crinoline dresses and Austrian palaces, it reminds me of Saga with Romy Schneider.🥹

Fans who especially appreciated The Empress are waiting for only one thing: for Netflix to renew it for a second season. This announcement is not relevant at this time, since it was presented as a mini-series. But given its success and open ending, anything is possible!
