Just found this clip on Youtube. Despite it being about Versailles the show is originally in English (I think this was just dubbed in French).

There's very little on this series. I was able to find this though.. it's a short trailer (the text is Swedish btw) There's also this: The English-language series was picked up by Scandinavian premium pay service C More for Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, RTBF for French-speaking Belgium and VRT for Flemish-speaking Belgium which will air the show on its primary channel Eén. More sales were inked with Sky Germany, NC+ in Poland and BTV Media Group in Bulgaria, among other territories. “Versailles” pre-sold to Germany’s SquareOne Entertainment and BBC II in the U.K. which will air the first season in 2016.

The series is produced by a French TV channel (Canal+, the one who produced the French shorts against homophobia, that you can find on youtube including "Basket & Maths"). The show is based on real facts but they've been turned into fiction. It's about Louis XIV and how Versailles was build. Louis XIV had a brother, Philippe, who was raised as a girl to be seen as less important than the king. Philippe is Monsieur and Chevalier is his lover. I have only watched the first 4 episodes, but I have found there is little homophobia in them. It can get a little bit gore, not with Philippe (up until ep.4 that is). And they don't shy away from the sea scenes. It's not games of thrones with a dozen in every episode but there are some. It is indeed filmed in English then dubbed in French. No worries about subtitles altho honestly I would have preferred a French version with French actors who would have done such a wonderfully job at embodying our history, the show is great as it is. Altho keep in mind, it's not all true. Philippe having a male lover is, but not everything that is told is close to the truth. I can only recommend you watch it, Chevalier and Philippe have a nice relationship and Philippe and the King as well. I should add this : Monsieur is the King's brother and his name is Philippe d'Orléans. Chevalier is Chevalier de Lorraine and his first name is also Philippe.

Unfortunately only the first 4 episodes are avaiable in english right now, I've started to watch the 5th episode in french, but I only understand half of it with my school french. Lucky me, that I get a french roommate next week. I'll force him to watch the rest of the season with me and translate it for me :-D According to IMDB Chevalier will be longer on the show than Phillipe. I wonder what will happen...

going completely off topic, who is the couple on the gifs? Guillaume (grey hair guy) & Emmanuel (black guy) from Ainsi Soient-Ils, a show about a group of six seminarian ready to become priests. There are three seasons of 8 episodes, I've made subtitles for the first season and most of the second. i haven't got the time yet to do the last episodes... For more info, there is a thread on here about them, you should be able to find it easily, it's in the Other Shows part)
