The first series has been sold to over 70 territories, including PBS Distribution in the US, BBC First in Australia and BBC Two and iPlayer in the UK, which reported consolidated viewing figures of 2.1 million for its premiere in 2022, and a raft of broadcasters across Europe and LatAm.
Cathy Payne, CEO of Banijay Rights says: Without a doubt, Marie Antoinette has been a popular drama with our buyers worldwide, and this is testament to the world-class producers in France who have created a premium, returning series for the international market. The flawless, high-quality production is filled with glamourous talent and lavish locations, and we're thrilled to offer a landmark new season of this unique interpretation of the fashionable French queen to global audiences.
Marie Antoinette is produced by Claude Chelli and Margaux Balsan for Capa Drama, St phanie Chartreux for Banijay Studios France.
