First Images of The Crown’s Final Season Are Released by Netflix

The Netflix series The Crown is about to come to an end. The sixth and last season of the political drama that follows Queen Elizabeth II will debut in two parts on November 16 and December 14, respectively.

Since its 2016 release, Peter Morgan’s series has grown to become one of the most ambitious and highly regarded productions on the streaming platform. It features remarkable casting and production values, and it features both young and adult representations of the most significant members of the British royal family as well as significant figures from both the current and previous centuries’ political histories.

More than a year after Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, 2022, Netflix will conclude the story of The Crown by showcasing some of the most significant moments from her legacy as well as one of the biggest tragedies in the history of world politics—the passing of Lady Di, which will be a major plot point in the show’s last season.

The Crown’s final season, which will star Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana alongside Dominic West as Prince Charles, Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Lesley Manville as Prince Margaret, Salim Daw as Mohamed Al-Fayed, Khalid Abdalla as Dodi Al-Fayed, Rufus Kampa as Prince William, and Fflyn Edwards as Prince Harry, has been teased by Netflix with a series of images.

What to Anticipate from The Crown’s Final Season

The sixth season of The Crown, which focuses on Princess Diana of Wales’s last days and her scandalous romance with Dodi Fayed before to her terrible death, will begin up where the fifth part left off. The show’s crew has previously anticipated To treat the situation with dignity, the Crown will only display the events that before and followed the incident, excluding the accident:

“The show might be big and noisy, but we’re not. We’re thoughtful people and we’re sensitive people. There were very careful, long conversations about how we were going to do it. The audience will judge it in the end, but I think it’s been delicately, thoughtfully recreated. Elizabeth Debicki is an extraordinary actress, and she was so thoughtful and considerate. She loved Diana. There’s a huge amount of respect from us all, I hope that’s evident.”

This implies that while the last episodes of the new season will approach closer historical moments—though not necessarily modern ones—the opening episodes of the next season will center on Diana. For instance, the second half of the last season of The Crown will explore Kate Middleton and Prince William’s courtship, but unlike the previous documentary William & Kate: Raising a Royal Family, it won’t focus on the family they created. Ed McVey and Meg Bellany, two rookies, will be playing young Harry and Megan.
