Historical Drama Series UKRAINE | 2026 | 55m x 10 | In Development
English,German, French
From poverty to a secret marriage with Louis XIV, the life of Madame de Maintenon became the inspiration for Perrault’s fairy tales. But behind this “Cinderella” were no miracles — only poison, intrigue, and a flawless, cold intellect. While the king’s mistresses shone at court, she claimed power from the shadows, becoming the most influential woman in France.
Once poor and unknown, Madame de Maintenon became the unofficial wife of Louis XIV and one of the most influential women at the French court. Her life, which inspired Charles Perrault to create his famous fairy tales, was far from being a fairy tale itself. Behind her successes were not miracles, but politics, intrigue, and cold-blooded calculation.
Madame de Maintenon knew how to remain in the shadows, manipulating the situation and becoming an important figure at court, while her rivals sought the king’s attention. This serial reveals her journey from a poor aristocrat to the most influential woman of her time, who managed to wield power from the shadows by using her intelligence and strategic approach.
The script took two years of painstaking work, including studying the memoirs of Saint-Simon, the letters of Madame de Sevigné and the Duchess of Orleans, as well as the correspondence of Madame de Maintenon and her circle. These sources became the key to a deep understanding of her personality and role in the history of France.
**Seeking a French Co-Production Partner**
With a German co-production partner already on board, we are currently seeking a French production company to join us in the next stage of the project’s development.
We would be delighted to collaborate with European production companies and welcome opportunities to build new creative partnerships across Europe. At this stage, our primary focus is finding a French production partner to strengthen the project’s European co-production potential and help bring our vision to an international audience.
