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?
OMG. The most gorgeous, spectacular, historically rich European stunning series offered to the American viewing public; educational, informative, erotically sophisticated, and, did I mention beautiful, to be cancelled? Are you , Ovation, out of your minds? From the theme composition (Michel Corriveau) and lyrics to the extraordinary and stunning performances by George Blagdon, the Priest in the Viking, and cast, it is too painful a loss to to us, the viewing public, should this be the last of “Versailles”. Nothing on Netflix or Amazon compares to “Versailles”.
With Mme Maintenon as the major woman in Louis’ life, Versailles having been completed there is no place for the story to go. After Mme Maintenon became Louis’ wife life at Versailles became more puritanical.
I LOVE this series! Please renew Versailles! Please!
I started watching this show on either Netflix or Amazon Prime and couldn’t stop watching it. I’ve been waiting for the next season and hope it does not cancel. These are my favorite shows. I love the clothes they wore during those period of time and the buildings or castles they lived in. Please don’t cancel Versailles, it’s a great show.
heart broken to hear the show will end, its done in such glory and all my co-workers and their family are so angry! they could of kept it up for years, look how many years and royals could of popped up along the way. ok BBC thought it was to raunchy, then tell them to tone it down a bit, but dont be done with it
1 the cast, production sets EVERYTHING was amazing,, my heart sinks to think there will be no more…
Well, this really sucks! This show is excellent!
Tell me it is not so…….Versailles has been cancelled. One of the best shows on TV. Excellent acting, beautiful costumes, breathtaking scenery and so well written. We need more shows on TV like this one. Please give us more Versailles.
my pain it with you.
Versailles is the best show on television. I would be very disappointed if it were cancelled. It is quality and the acting wonderful. I am requesting the DVD’s of both seasons for Christmas.
I absolutely LOVE Versailles!! Since the very 1st episode I have been glued to the screen while it’s on! And I cannot wait until the next week when I get to see the next episode! I’m more than sad having found out that the show is being cancelled!! I wish there were a way to be able to keep it on!
Yes. Without a shadow of doubt this show ranked way above most. The fact that it is based on true events only adds to it’s cache. As an american i can only wish that our film makers were more adept at producing savy sophisticated, ,,mesmerizing, ,quality productions such as this. Alas…american sensibilities for true arts value was NEVER that sharply defined anyway. Im almost 70 years of age and haven’t allowed a tv in my home for decades. Their idea of programing is solidly juvenile and an insult to the senses They would never have been able to master the… Read more »
well said! how can we change this decision? I seriously want to go and boycott the studios! lets dress up like the Royals and picket
Agree, there must be a way for studious to understand what the public wants. Isn’t that what it’s all about pleasing and retaining viewers.
count me in!
OMG Just when we finally have a series that is everything T.V. is supposed to be: educational, well written, excellent actors and enthralling sets an costumes we hear there will not be a season 4. The materials for another season are there, Louie is still young enough, not everyone is dead the sets and costumes are too beautiful , expensive and rich to discard. MOST IMORTANTLY Viewers LOVE IT is. Why toss it all out the window. How can there be multiple seasons of inferior, mindless programs ” America or England has talent” and not this superb show. Please don’t… Read more »
