Season 5 of the Netflix royal drama The Crown is now in production, and it features a new cast that includes Imelda Staunton, Dominic West, and Lesley Manville.
During the fourth season of The Crown, Netflix‘s drama about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, which premiered on the streaming service in 2020, we were introduced to two individuals who had a significant impact on the decade – Lady Diana Spencer and Margaret Thatcher – who made significant contributions to their respective fields.
New episodes received accolades and were among the most talked-about television series of the year, thanks to the performances of Gillian Anderson’s Thatcher and Emma Corrin’s Diana, who grabbed the hearts and minds of fans.
It’s possible that if you’ve already finished season 4, you’re wondering when season 5 will premiere and what the future holds for this royal soap opera with a new cast of characters.
The critically acclaimed Netflix comedy will return for a fifth season.
It will cover the years under the leadership of John Major, the upheaval of Diana and Prince Charles’ marriage collapse, and the terrible death of Diana in 1997, among other topics.
The Crown Season 5 Renewed
While the show’s creator, Peter Morgan, had initially intended for it to stretch across six 10-episode seasons, he came to the conclusion that it was “the ideal time and place to finish” while writing the fifth season of The Crown.
Eventually, it was revealed that Morgan had changed his mind in July 2020, and Netflix verified on social media that a sixth season was really in the works.
The fifth and final season of The Crown will focus on the troubled early 1990s, and the series will conclude with a more in-depth look at the time period in question, which will be the stormy early 1990s. It also allows new cast members such as Imelda Staunton and Lesley Manville to appear on screen for twice as long as they would have otherwise.
So, what do we know about The Crown season 5 so far? From the anticipated release date to the new cast members that will be taking the place of Olivia Colman, Helena Bonham Carter, and Tobias Menzies on screen, here’s everything we know so far.
