For those who aren’t much aware of the storyline of the series, it revolves around Queen Elizabeth II. And it offers a truly unique perspective on British historical events.
The Crown follows the various significant moments in her lengthy reign. It portrays her role as a wife, mother, sister, and daughter. It also shows how perfectly Queen Elizabeth balances her duty with family life while making various difficult decisions along the way.
Even if you’re not a monarch lover, the extraordinary performances in the series will surely leave you amazed. The first two seasons saw Claire Foy play Queen Elizabeth as a young girl and a rather shy woman. She ascends to the throne after the death of her father, King George VI, at the age of just 56.
Coleman will portray the protagonist in The Crown
Then for the fourth and upcoming fifth season, Coleman stole the character of a well-established Queen Elizabeth. She portrays the role of steeliness and maturity that a queen is supposed to have. In the fifth season, we will see Staunton take up the coveted yet rather intimidating role, bringing her own take on the long-standing monarch as she enters her later years.
Writer/creator Peter Morgan: “As we started to discuss the storylines for Series 5, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons.”
