A sneak peek of the latest instalment, which launches on the BBC tomorrow evening, reveals plenty of nudity as courtiers strip off for a lavish orgy.
Episode six sees Philippe I's (played by Alexander Vlahos) lover Chevalier (Evan Williams) enter a lavish parlour with scores of naked women.
The shock scene includes numerous characters getting up close and personal, with one brunette looking a lot more uncomfortable than the rest.
There is no sign of King Louis XIV (George Blagden) in the eye-popping teaser as the drama picks up in 1667, when he is 28-years-old.

However, cast members have now revealed that this will be more balanced as viewers will see more male nudity.
Actor Alexander, who plays the French monarch's brother, commented: "There is going to be a lot of naked men this time round which we didn't have in season one - season two pushes the boundaries of that.
