Sisi: Austrian Empress
DramaWar51 min per episode
Empress Elisabeth of Austria stands at the center of this German historical drama, which follows her life through the eyes of the confidants, courtiers, and family members around her. Dominique Devenport leads the series, with Jannik Schümann and Désirée Nosbusch among the figures shaping life at the Austrian court. Instead of treating Sisi as a distant royal icon, the story looks at the woman inside the role: her private relationships, the expectations of monarchy, and the pressures that come with living under the gaze of an empire.
