Will There Be a 'Marie Antoinette' Season 3? Season 2's Finale Sets Up More Drama

Marie Antoinette's Season 2 finale was an hour stuffed to the bustles with drama. Big speeches were successfully given, deals less successfully struck; heirs died, other potential heirs discovered they weren't dying, just being steadily poisoned by their spouse. The Season 2 finale then sped up time so that the mob was at the gates, demanding grain from people who only had silks and ostrich feathers to spare. As Louis XVI made the fatal decision not to flee the country, and the royal family stood their ground, fans were all asking the same question: When does Marie Antoinette Season 3 get here?

The good news for fans (if there is any good news in the current entertainment landscape) is that producer Capa Drama is rumored to have first pitched the series to Canal+ as a three-season run. That certainly fits the show's arc, as the first season saw Antoinette and Louis fall in love and become the rulers of France, and Season 2 has focused on their troubled marriage and the political mistakes they've made along the way, leaving their fall as the final season's main plot.

However, Canal+ has not yet greenlit a third season. But that doesn't mean the show isn't coming back. European TV networks move slowly, especially as the co-production climate enters a deep freeze.
