The Empress- Season 3

On 12 November 2026, the gates of Schönbrunn Palace open on Netflix for the last time: the third and final season of “The Empress” (“Die Kaiserin”) follows Elisabeth as she fights for her heart, her health and her voice. Confined by the corset of the Viennese court and deeply hurt by Franz’s rejection and infidelity after his return from the war, Elisabeth struggles to be heard and to understand what her soul truly longs for.

In the final season, costume designer Gabriela Reumer once again shapes the series’ visual language. Her designs combine historical accuracy with modern elements and make the characters visible in all their inner conflict between the court and freedom. For the first two seasons, she already put together costumes in our historical costume hall.

We have taken a large share of the costumes from “The Empress” into our stock: dresses, skirts, blouses, shoes, hats, masks, crinolines and corsets are available for hire in our historical costume hall. Even the opulent wedding dress from Season 1 is part of the collection.

Cast includes Devrim Lingnau Islamoğlu, Philip Froissant, Melika Foroutan, Johannes Nussbaum, Josephine Thiesen, Dejan Bućin, Runa Greiner and Marlene Burow; Production: Sommerhaus Serien GmbH; Directors: Florian Cossen, Julia Langhof; Costume Design: Gabriela Reumer
