In the second season of "The Serpent Queen," France's Catherine de Medici and England's Queen Elizabeth I clash; watch "The Serpent Queen" online from anywhere with a VPN.

"The Serpent Queen" Season 2 brings Catherine de Medici, played by the inimitable Samantha Morton ("Minority Report"), back to the screen. In the first episode, we witnessed her rise to the forefront of the French royal family and the machinations and dealings that led to her eventual placement of the crown on the head of her son, Charles IX.

But now, from across the Channel, an existential crisis looms. Elizabeth, Queen of England (played brilliantly by Minnie Driver of "Good Will Hunting"), sees an opportunity to seize power in Europe.

"The Serpent Queen" is positioned in the lineage of contemporary period dramas such as "The Great" and "Mary and George," beginning with Yorgos Lanthimos' Oscar-winning "The Favourite."

Ready to see France and England clash? This is Season 2 of "The Serpent Queen," a series of period dramas that will be adapted from the original "The Serpent Queen," which was produced in 1914 by the French production of "The Serpent Queen.
