TV show description:
Set in France during the reign of Louis XIV (Blagden), the Versailles TV show features the “Sun King” building his palace, amidst all the intrigue of French Court. In 1667, the French air is suffused with power, sex, love, betrayal, and as ever — war.
At the age of 28 years, Louis is on the brink of greatness. Merciless and driven, he knows no bounds when it comes to reaching his goals. In his quest to rule France with an iron fist, Louis is obsessed with crafting the grandest palace in all of Europe.
For all its glory, Versailles is his court’s gilded cage, where Louis keeps a close watch on friends and enemies alike. There, the nobles drink, gamble, and even plot murder in their efforts to gain the King’s favor.
Series Finale:
Episode #30 — The Legacy
Having crushed the Protestants and thwarted Cardinal Leto, Louis (George Blagden) feels invincible. But his family and France are divided and Fabien (Tygh Runyan) is on the loose. And what of the future? What will be his legacy? In an effort to appease the people, Louis decides to go to Paris to give his blessing to the sick, unaware that Jeanne (Jenny Platt) and the rebels are planning to assassinate him.
First aired: December 8, 2018.
What do you think? Do you like the Versailles TV series? Should this TV show have been renewed for a fourth season on Ovation?
Riveting! Excellently written and executed… Like Mgt Terry, I find myself researching more and learning more about the Era of Louis XIV. I love the series, I am very much looking forward to more exciting seasons. This show is so well written it should continue on to Louis XIV’s offspring.
Love the series, hope it doesn’t get cancelled.
Series 3 is currently filming. This series demonstrates that if a programme is well scripted, acted, plotted we will watch.
Versailles is an intelligent, stunning series with a Cast of extremely talented actors … everyone !
I found myself researching and learning , and reading everything I could get my hands on …about the King, The Era the Society…and so much more.. a wonderful experience for me and could be for others.
It will be a sad day if Versailles is cancelled
If Louis’ successors had been as interested in the affairs of state as he was the French most likely would still have a monarchy. We, the viewer can see the irony of Louis consolidating and centralising power while at the same time sowing the seeds of revolution.
Please continue!!
