In the freshly launched date announcement teaser video for the final season of one of Netflix’s most popular series ‘The Crown’ is here and we see Queen Elizabeth II (who has been played at different times by Claire Foy, Olivia Colman, and Imelda Staunton over six seasons) walking through time, from the moment she ascends the throne to the series’ concluding chapter.
The sixth and final season of ‘The Crown’ will premiere on Netflix in two parts, with the first four episodes premiering on November 16 and the last six episodes on December 14.
Set in the 1940s and ’50s, the first season of ‘The Crwon’ explores the new marriage between Princess Elizabeth (Foy) and Lt. Philip Mountbatten (Matt Smith), Elizabeth’s coronation after the premature death of her father, and her subsequent adjustment to her role as queen.
Foy and Smith continued in their roles as Elizabeth and Philip throughout Seasons 1 and 2, before passing the mantle to Colman and Tobias Menzies for Seasons 3 and 4. Staunton and Jonathan Pryce assumed the parts of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in Season 5 and will close out the series in the roles in Season 6.
‘The Crwon’ season 6 will continue with Princess Diana’s (Elizabeth Debicki) story, with the first four episodes exploring the events surrounding her tragic death in 1997. In the final six episodes, Queen Elizabeth II (Staunton) will be seen reflecting on her reign and look ahead to a time when her successors will take the throne.
There will also be royal wedding bells for Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla (Olivia Williams), as well as a budding university romance between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Among the new cast members joining Part 1 of season 6 of ‘The Crown’ are Rufus Kampa and Fflyn Edwards as young Princes William and Harry, respectively, and Ford as teenage Harry in Part 2. Other returning cast members include Lesley Manville, Claudia Harrison, Jonathan Pryce, Bertie Carvel, Salim Daw and Khalid Abdalla.
