Imelda Staunton takes up the royal mantle in new episodes
We’ve known for some time that The Crown season 5 would be hitting screens in November , but the streamer had until now been tight-lipped on the show’s exact return date.
Imelda Staunton will be inheriting the role of the late Queen Elizabeth II from Olivia Colman in The Crown's new episodes, which look set to explore the end of Charles and Diana's marriage, John Major's time as Prime Minister and the Queen's annus horribilis in 1992. Jonathan Pryce is playing Prince Philip, with Dominic West and Elizabeth Debicki portraying Charles and Diana, respectively. Lesley Manville is taking on the role of Princess Margaret, while Jonny Lee Miller has been cast as John Major.

As for the series’ future beyond season 5, we know that The Crown season 6 – which will be the show’s last instalment – has already begun filming, although shooting was temporarily put on hold following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September. Addressing the news of her passing, The Crown showrunner Peter Morgan said:"The Crown is a love letter to [the Queen] and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect."
