Versailles season 3: Why are there no more seasons of Versailles?

Will Versailles return?

Versailles season four has not been confirmed by Canal Plus, the French channel behind the series.

Versailles was originally intended to run for four seasons, however, in April, it was announced season three would be the shows last.

Fabric de la Patelliere, head of fiction at Canal Plus said: “The series was meant to chronicle the coming of age and rise to power of Louis XIV and show how he built Versailles to corral his nobles, asserting his absolute power.

“At the end of the third season, Louis XIV has achieved absolute power, he’s 46 or 47 years old, so we reached the end of the narrative arc that we had envisioned for this series.”

Versailles followed the story of King Louis XIV (played by George Blagden) and his controversial reign.

Season three addressed the 1680s, which are regarded as the height of his reign as he had control over the church and the aristocracy and France was the leading power in Europe.

To watch the entire sereis of Versailles, you can sign up to 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime Video.
