18+Season 2
Those who come after us will think that they are just fairy tales...
Synopsis
Season 2 of Versailles (2015) is the historical drama you can watch online on iFILM — ten episodes set in 1671, with the palace all but finished and the nobility moved in. Louis XIV's trap has finally sprung shut. The catch: it holds him too.
Versailles is rotting from the inside. Courtiers poison their rivals to climb closer to the Sun King, and Fabien Marchal's investigation keeps drowning in fresh corpses. The Church demands Louis cut ties with his mistress Montespan; he won't hear the sermons. To the east, the war with the Dutch and the personal duel with William of Orange grind on, while insomnia and frayed nerves keep knocking the king off balance. The season's spine is the Affair of the Poisons, creeping toward Louis's own inner circle.
This run is darker than the first — fewer gleaming ceremonies, more black masses and paranoia. If you like costume thriller with real history underneath, this year at court bites harder than the debut. Stream Versailles Season 2 online on iFILM.
