“Versailles is the next step in the international co-production strategy we are now pursuing with our partners,” said Fabrice de la Patellière, Head of French Drama and Co-productions at Canal Plus. “This new season, that we aim to develop with renewed originality, will be a full-blown immersion into the absolute power of Louis XIV.” Added Claude Chelli, Director of Capa Drama: “King Louis XIV ruled France for 72 years, so there are still many stories to be told, in the same style and with the same contemporary approach that we established in Season 1. So it is with great relish that for the second season, we are going to take the series into the realm of women, love potions and poisons.”
齐州市中级人民法院副院长齐衡，刚上任就接手了案情复杂的“渔船杀人案”，从幸存者证词中抽丝剥茧发现漏洞，成功查明郑夺杀人事实。齐衡的儿子齐伦在电视上看到郑夺，认出郑夺就是绑架自己母亲郭念的凶手，由此牵出幕后黑手罗怀功。与此同时，罗怀功旗下的姜云化工集团长期排污致村民患上绝症，民情愤懑，被告到法院。市级领导为了保GDP增长，要求手下留情。齐衡坚决排除干扰，秉公执法，进行公正判决，遭到罗怀功报复，险些丧命。郭念尸骸被发现，一直拒不认罪的郑夺被罗怀功杀人灭口。在齐衡等人的大力协助下，公安机关将罗怀功犯罪团伙摧毁，不法分子被法院公正判决。作为人世间维护公平正义的最后一道防线，齐衡和他的法院同事们，在司法体制改革精神的指引下，用所有的精力去维护社会的公平正义，让依法治国的制度体系有力地落实在中国大地。
