The Crown, Netflix’s blockbuster drama that follows the life and times of Queen Elizabeth II, may pause production on season five following the death of the show’s real-life subject.

With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Netflix's prestige drama about her life is reportedly recalibrating.

The series will now, presumably, be under even more scrutiny than before, as it wrestles with depicting the latter days and legacy of the now-dead monarch. (The fifth season, meanwhile—the first in which Imelda Staunton will take over the role of Elizabeth, previously played by Claire Foy and then Olivia Colman—has already been completed, and is set to premiere on Netflix in November.) Although Netflix hasn’t released any statements as of yet about which eras of the queen’s life that either of the show’s two remaining seasons will tackle, we can glean a decent amount out of casting news; the fifth season, for instance, features 58-year-old Dominick West and 32-year-old Elizabeth Debicki as Prince Charles and Princess Di, respectively, which will likely place it somewhere in the mid-’80s, while the sixth season has cast 16-year-old Rufus Kampa and 21-year-old Ed McVey as the pair’s kids, Henry and William.

The new season of the Netflix drama will be released in November 2022. Here's what the season is about, the cast and actors, its depiction of Diana, ...
