Here’s what you need to know, then, aboutThe BBC series kicks off as a teenage Marie Antoinette leaves Austria to marry the Dauphin of France. When she arrives at Versailles, though, she is absolutely overwhelmed by the many rules and complexities of the French court, and soon succumbs to homesickness.
The princess wants to live the life she’s always dreamed of; her mother, though, keeps pushing her to continue the Bourbon line and thus secure the alliance between the two countries.

“Transforming from the young Dauphine to the Queen of Style and a true fashion icon, Marie Antoinette will eventually understand the rules and secrets of the Court, and will attempt to recreate Versailles in her image: free, independent and feminist,” promises the official synopsis. “But her successes will provoke jealousy and rivalry. As defamatory pamphlets and persistent rumours about her private life undermine her status, her opponents within the Royal Family will do everything they can to bring her down.”
