Tragic Empress getting 'The Crown' treatment: Story of murdered Sissi of Austria ‘the loveliest woman in Europe’ who lost her first child in infancy and her second in a murder-suicide arrives on Netflix next month
A tragic Austrian royal will be getting The Crown treatment in an upcoming Netflix six-part series.
The Empress, which is being launched by the streaming service in the UK on September 29, will chart the remarkable life of the Duchess Elisabeth of Bavaria, who lost her first child in infancy, her second in a murder-suicide and her sister to an accidental fire before being assassinated by an Italian anarchist.
Also known as Sissi, she was the Empress of Austria for the latter half of the 19th century after marrying Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary (who will be played by Philip Froissant in the series) when she was just 16.
She will be played by German actress Devrim Lingnau in the Netflix drama, which will chart her devastating life, from her controlling mother-in-law, and the tragic deaths of her loved ones, to her murder in 1898, with an anarchist stabbing her in her heart.
