“Versailles is the next step in the international co-production strategy we are now pursuing with our partners,” said Fabrice de la Patellière, Head of French Drama and Co-productions at Canal Plus. “This new season, that we aim to develop with renewed originality, will be a full-blown immersion into the absolute power of Louis XIV.” Added Claude Chelli, Director of Capa Drama: “King Louis XIV ruled France for 72 years, so there are still many stories to be told, in the same style and with the same contemporary approach that we established in Season 1. So it is with great relish that for the second season, we are going to take the series into the realm of women, love potions and poisons.”
第二季中，侦探杜尔西·柯林斯（凯特·波克斯 Kate Box 饰）和埃迪·雷德克利夫（玛德琳·萨米 Madeleine Sami 饰）将前往澳大利亚的Top End地区。她们起初在达尔文调查雷德克利夫前任警务伙伴布什的死亡案件，然而在一个偏远小镇发现了两名Top End知名人士的尸体，这开启了一场“更紧张、更棘手”的新调查。
