The new period drama Marie-Antoniette will debut on PBS on March 19 at 10 PM.
The title character (Emilia Schüle) is just a teenager when she leaves Austria to marry the Dauphin of France (Louis Cunningham). When she arrives at Versailles, she must obey the numerous and complex rules of the French court. The princess quickly suffers from not being able to live her life the way she wants, while her mother, the Empress of Austria, (Tony nominee Marthe Keller) keeps pushing her to continue the Bourbon line and thus secure the alliance between the two countries. However, faced with Louis’ avoidant and solitary character, the mission turns out to be more complicated than expected.
Here is a trailer for Marie-Antoinette:
