Maximilian (miniseries)
Maximilian – Das Spiel von Macht und Liebe, released in the United States as Maximilian and Marie De Bourgogne or simply Maximilian, is a 2017 German-Austrian three-part historical miniseries. It is set in 1477, and stars Jannis Niewöhner as Maximilian I and Christa Théret as Mary of Burgundy. It was directed by Andreas Prochaska. It had its world premiere at the Urania movie theater in Vienna, then aired on the Austrian network ORF 1 in March 2017, and on the German network ZDF in October 2017. It was acquired and made available for streaming by American cable network Starz in April 2018.
Maximilian consists of three episodes, each with a 90-minute running time; although in the version on Starz, each episode was divided in two, making six episodes altogether. The series is in a mix of French and German, with German-speaking actors speaking German and French-speaking actors speaking French. For broadcasts in Austria and Germany, the French actors' dialogue was dubbed into German.
