As we learned in season one of Reign On Me, royal family drama didn’t begin with our modern tabloid stories about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - It’s a tale as old as time. To be royal is to be the drama, dahling. In season two of Reign On Me, we dive into the deep end of the Hapsburg dynasty and the intrigues of Austria’s last emperor, Franz Joseph, and his wife the eccentric Empress Sisi. A story that once began in triumph -  and ended in a series of scandals and tragedies.
Did Sisi suffer from the rumored curse of what was then called the Bavarian madness, or was she a progressive genius simply ahead of her time? Was the Emperor a mama's boy who couldn’t rule and should have abdicated to his brother? Was the last archduchess the product of an affair? Was a murder-suicide covered up? In a family that on the surface looks more cursed than the Kennedys, was there a way these misfortunes could have been prevented?
In season 2 of Reign On Me, we’ll also look at how the industrial revolution changed monarchy forever, leaving only the soon to be renamed House of Windsor the last empire standing. How did England’s Empire manage to be the only one to survive the first world war?
So pull up a chair, pour your favorite drink, and join me, Jennifer Gulbrandsen, as we delve into  more drama than today’s modern monarchies can dish out as we start Season 2 of Reign on Me, the Hot Mess Hapsburgs, and the end of the Austrian Empire.
