What can the audience expect in The Empress season 2?

This revelation might result in a life-altering change for her and those around her. This aspect of the story will possibly be the focus of the upcoming season of the show.
Netflix has also released an official logline for the upcoming season, providing insight into its plot.
"The first crisis is barely over and the young couple wants to enjoy their fresh marital bliss when dark clouds gather over Schönbrunn Palace: Franz (Philip Froissant) unexpectedly faces a powerful adversary in Europe. And Elisabeth (Devrim Lingnau) comes under great pressure, because an heir to the throne is to secure the future of the empire as quickly as possible," it reads.
It continues:
"When fate strikes with all its power, the couple's love threatens to finally break apart. And Elisabeth must fight not only for her family, but also for the integrity of her soul."
All six episodes of The Empress season 1 are currently streaming on Netflix. The show was created by Katharina Eyssen and written by Katharina Eyssen, Bernd Lange, and Janna Maria Nandzik. It was directed by Katrin Gebbe and Florian Cossen. Jochen Laube and Fabian Maubach served as executive producers on the project.
