content
The series is about the life of the young Louis XIV at the court of Versailles .
background
"Versailles" is the largest TV series ever shot in Europe. With a budget of 30 million euros for the first season (ten episodes), the production of the French channel Canal + is also at the top of the most expensive TV productions in an international comparison.
The creative minds David Wolstencroft ( The Devil's Lawyer ( The Escape Artist )) and Helen Mirren's nephew Simon Mirren ( Without a Trace ) are responsible for the scripts. The first season was directed by Jalil Lespert ( Yves Saint Laurent ), Christoph Schrewe, Thomas Vincent and Daniel Roby.
The decision to shoot the series on the original location in France, but in English, caused heated debates among the French. But the producers justified this with the fact that the high production costs of 30 million euros could only be covered with international participation.
Cast and dubbing
The German-language dubbed version of the series is being produced at Scalamedia GmbH in Berlin, directed by Erik Paulsen, who also writes the dialogue book.
publication
The first season was released on October 6, 2016 on Blu-ray and DVD . The second season was published on July 25, 2017, and the third and final season on November 29, 2018.
