One of the highest-rated, most expensive French TV shows ever made (its budget was twice that of Downton Abbey), this steamy series follows young Louis XIV (George Blagden, Vikings), the 28-year-old King of France, as he turns his father's former hunting lodge into the greatest palace in the world. Drained budgets, affairs, and political intrigue complicate matters, revealing Versailles in all its glory and brutality. A third season has already been announced. 10 episodes, 9 hrs, 4 DVDs, SDH. Mature audiences.
