Development


After the final season of Versailles aired, it was announced Canal+ had commissioned Deborah Davis to write an eight-part series centred on Marie Antoinette.[3] Alongside Banijay Studios and CAPA Drama the French production company planned to create an English language series with the aim to distribute to a wide international audience in a similar fashion to Versailles.[4] In October 2021, it was announced that the BBC had pre-bought the series and the British broadcaster would be part of the production and distribution process.[5] Vogue and Variety reported the series is being created by an all female writing team and would offer a "feminist take" on Marie Antoinette's life.[6]


Casting


Casting was announced in September 2021 with Schüle attached to play the lead role.[7] She will be joined by an international cast including Louis Cunningham, Jack Archer, Jasmine Blackborow, Gaia Weiss, James Purefoy, Marthe Keller, Roxane Duran, Crystal Shepherd-Cross, Caroline Piette, Oscar Lesage, Liah O'Prey, Jonas Bloquet, Nathan Willcocks, Paul Bandey, Laura Benson and Yoli Fuller.[8][9][10]


Filming


In September 2021 it was announced filming had begun. Variety and Deadline reported that alongside the studios of Bry-Sur-Marne, filming would take place at locations that include the Châteaux of Versailles, Vaux-le-Vicomte, Palace of Fontainebleau, Lésigny, Champs and Voisins.[11][12]


Release


Marie Antoinette is scheduled to premiere on the French network Canal+ in Autumn 2022.[13]

In July 2022 it was announced that the series would be distributed through BBC First in Australia and air on streamers Foxtel and Binge.[14] The entire series will be released on November 22nd.[15]

In October 2022 Banijay announced PBS had pre-bought the series with a planned Spring 2023 release. [16]
