The Los Angeles Times featured Versailles in its yearend list of top ten TV shows, lauding its second season for continuing “to offer a window into the machinations of politics, power, privilege—and men with defiantly bad hairdos.”
Versailles Season 2 is available on Ovation NOW. In Season 2, we witness the dark underbelly of power as Louis (George Blagden) sees the dream of his grand Versailles palace crumbling before his eyes. Most of France’s eminent lords and ladies now live under the Sun King’s roof. Drugs, gambling, and alcohol are rampant, as nobles begin to poison each other in order to get closer to the King and climb up the social ladder.
