Filming

Filming was completed from December 2013 to August 2014 in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast (including Peter and Paul Fortress, Constantine Palace, Gatchina, and Lenfilm Studios).[3][4]

The crew is working on scenarios of the second and third season. They will tell the life of the Empress from 1762 to 1775 and from 1775 to 1796, respectively.[2] The second season was expected to finish filming in 2016. Note: the preceding information is now outdated and inaccurate.

Information on the show during the making of the 2nd and 3rd seasons can be seen on the wayback machine. [5][6]

Both the Second and Third seasons have been released. Season 2 involves Ekaterina, her sons, her relationship with the eldest Orlov brother, and Count Panin. Season 3 expands on some of second seasons’s storylines, while focusing on two of history’s better-known Pretenders who claimed the Russian throne rightfully belonged to them.
