The Great actress posted a sun-drenched snapshot to her Instagram stories over the Labor Day weekend and wrote: "I guess Summer is over," along with a crying emoji.

She then revealed that fans can watch the second season on 19 November when it will begin airing on Hulu. 

The star has enjoyed huge success with her role as Catherine the Great in the hit show, and while her on-screen romance with Nicholas' character leaves little to be desired, off-screen, Elle is happily loved-up with boyfriend, Max Minghella.

Elle recently wrapped filming of season two of The Great

Elle, 23, and Max became romantically involved after meeting on the set of the 2018 film Teen Spirit, which was written and directed by Max.

The couple were first linked in July 2018 when they were seen holding hands in Florence, Italy, and made their relationship public when they walked the red carpet together at the 2019 Met Gala in New York.

No doubt, they got to spend some quality time together over the summer too.
