Season 1 of the event series “Sisi” had not even started on streaming service RTL+, when the service already extended the series by a 2nd season. This will be in keeping with tradition and will be released during the Christmas season in 2022.

The 2nd season “Sisi” will start on December 16, 2022 on RTL+ in the stream. In the process, the six new episodes will all be released in one go.

Between the holidays on December 27 and 28, three episodes each will run from 8:15 p.m. on RTL.
Sisi Season 2: Plot
Actually, the birth of their son and heir to the throne should make happiness perfect for Sisi and Franz. Instead, that joyous moment is the impetus for power struggles in Europe and the beginning of numerous private challenges for the couple. Otto von Bismarck threatens to drive Austria into a new war.
Sisi tries with all her might to be there for her husband and her people. Although she loves Franz dearly and demonstrates her diplomatic tact time and again, personal happiness does not seem to be granted to the empress. Sisi’s life remains that of a bird in a golden cage.
When she has to travel to Hungary on a political mission, she encounters the untamed expanses of the Puszta, the simple life of the people and a man with whom one can steal horses: Count Andrássy. Torn between her husband and the rebel leader, Sisi is eventually faced with a difficult decision.
Sisi Season 2: Trailer
So far, there is no trailer or other moving footage for “Sisi” season 2, but since a start date for the series has been announced, this should follow soon.
