Since its release on November 9, 2022, the fifth season of Netflix’s acclaimed biographical drama series, The Crown, has captivated audiences with its compelling storytelling and remarkable portrayal of real-life royalty. Created by Peter Morgan, The Crown has established itself as one of Netflix’s most popular Originals, known for its high production value, with each season costing over $100 million.
Renewal for Season 6
Originally planned for five seasons, The Crown received a welcome surprise when it was renewed for a sixth season. In fact, production for the final season had already begun before the release of the fifth season on Netflix. The decision to extend the series was met with enthusiasm from fans and critics alike.
“The Crown” has been nominated for an impressive 423 awards, winning 129 of them. The show achieved a historic feat by sweeping all seven categories it was nominated for at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards in 2021. This included Olivia Colman’s outstanding lead performance as Queen Elizabeth II and a Primetime Emmy win for Claire Foy, who portrayed the same role in earlier seasons.
What to Expect from The Crown Season 6?
As of now, neither Netflix nor the creators of The Crown have revealed specific details about the plot of the final season. However, we can make some educated speculations based on historical events and the direction of the previous seasons.
It is expected that the sixth season will cover significant events such as the death of Princess Diana, the new millennium, the September 11 attacks, Prince Harry’s struggles with addiction, the deaths of Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, and the Iraq War. These were some of the most challenging years in Queen Elizabeth II’s life, and they provide a rich backdrop for the show’s narrative.
Behind-the-scenes filming shots have hinted at substantial flashbacks, including a recreation of Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret leaving Buckingham Palace arm-in-arm on V-E Day. Additionally, it has been confirmed that the car crash that led to Princess Diana’s death will not be depicted in the sixth season.
Domini West, who portrays Charles, the current monarch of England in the fifth season, spoke about the immense responsibility of working on this season, especially in the wake of the Queen’s death.
He expressed, “These are people who are still alive, and that’s an immense responsibility.”
