According to reports, the finale will focus on events from the late 1990s and early 2000s. With its upcoming final season, The Crown is saying goodbye.
Netflix has confirmed that the show would return for a sixth season in 2020, despite the fact that the recently aired fifth season was supposed to be the last.
When discussing the plot for Series 5, creator Peter Morgan remarked, “It became evident that in order to do credit to the richness and complexity of the story, we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons.”
Season 5’s actors, notably Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II, are anticipated to return for the current season, with the exception of a few new recruits to the group.
This is all you need to know about the upcoming sixth season of The Crown, from the new characters to the time period that will be explored.
