In the Season 2 premiere, the palace of Versailles is admired from all over the world, and the king's army grows as Louis prepares to invade Holland. Louis finds strength and comfort in the arms of Madame de Montespan, who is pregnant with their child. A playwright is welcomed.
The Church rises up against the King, demanding him to end his affair with Montespan. The bishop Bossuet forms an alliance with Father Pascal, who has come to the Court at the Queen's behest to return order and morality to the Palace.
The poisonings spread as the investigation stalls. Meanwhile, Princess Palatine is coolly welcomed in both the palace salons and her husband's bed.
Madeline is thrown into prison for murder by poisoning, but is able to send Gaston on an urgent mission. At the palace, the child of Louis and Madame de Montespan has become seriously ill.
Louis is afflicted by terrible insomnia, feeding his paranoia. Louis decides to assign the Dutch War to Philippe. However, Louis' paranoia prevails, and he eventually decides to go into battle himself.
The king's army wins several battles on the Dutch front, but Louis won't be satisfied until Holland and William of Orange is crushed. He overplays his hand and the army is lured into a trap. Meanwhile back at court, Marie-Therese is in charge and debauchery is banned.

Critic Reviews for Versailles Season 2
All Critics (4) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (1)
[Alexander] Vlahos' performance continues to be a truly outstanding part of the series, as he gives Philippe just the right mix of melancholy and spitfire.
Period dramas take historical facts and run with them, and that is all part of the fun. Versailles does just that, albeit with a little bit of self-importance.
There are pleasures to be found among the show's luxuriant surfaces, all marble and gold and velvet, or its radiant cast, or plots that are never taxing.
Versailles is a fashion shoot with words added in, and there's nothing worse than that.
