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.[3] The series is in a mix of French and German, with German-speaking actors (such as Niewöhner) speaking German and French-speaking actors (such as Théret) speaking French. For broadcasts in Austria and Germany, the French actors' dialogue was dubbed into German.
