“The Crown Season 6” marks the end of an era for Netflix’s acclaimed series, which has held a prestigious spot in the world of streaming entertainment. Chronicling the intricate lives of the British royal family, the series has garnered a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. However, as the curtains close on The Crown Season 6, many are left wondering: why is there no Season 7 in sight?
The Visionary’s Verdict: Peter Morgan’s Decisive Conclusion
Peter Morgan, the mastermind behind ‘The Crown’, envisioned the series as a detailed, yet finite, exploration of royal life. Despite the show’s soaring popularity, Morgan has firmly stated that the sixth season marks the end of this majestic journey. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he expressed, “It’s the end of a long journey, fantastic journey… and I just hope you all enjoy it.”

The Original Plan: A Story Told in Six Chapters
Netflix’s initial announcement in January 2020, reported by Deadline, declared that ‘The Crown’ would culminate with its fifth season. However, the narrative scope expanded, and a sixth season was later confirmed. This change, as Morgan shared on X (formerly Twitter), was to do justice to the “richness and complexity of the story.”
A Decade of Royal Portrayal: Morgan’s Ten-Year Endeavor
From its debut in 2016, ‘The Crown’ has been a labor of love for Peter Morgan. As he told Tudum in December 2023, “I’ve worked on the show every single day, including bank holidays and Christmases for ten years.” Morgan’s dedication to portraying the queen as both “a very ordinary person and a completely unique and remarkable person” has been a driving force behind the series’ success.
Steering Clear of Contemporary Controversy: The Meghan and Harry Decision
Morgan has deliberately steered ‘The Crown‘ away from recent royal events, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s story. His rationale, as he explained to Town & Country and Tudum, was to maintain a respectful distance from current affairs, keeping the show historical rather than journalistic.
Historical Integrity Over Current Affairs
In keeping with his vision for ‘The Crown‘, Morgan has maintained a 20-year gap from present-day events. This approach, as he shared with Entertainment Tonight and Variety, was to ensure the series remained a historical drama, dignified and respectful of its subjects.
Beyond The Crown Season 6: Morgan’s Future Endeavors
After years of delving into royal narratives, including ‘The Queen’ and ‘The Audience’, Morgan expressed to Entertainment Tonight his intent to take a break from royal-themed projects. However, he doesn’t rule out a return to this genre in the future.
The Possibility of a Royal Prequel
While Morgan is currently stepping away from the royal family’s tales, he hinted at the potential of a ‘the Crown’ prequel in the future. According to Variety, this would explore events before Queen Elizabeth’s reign, offering a fresh perspective on royal history.
