Next November, Netflix will release the 5th season of The Crown. After the death of Elizabeth II, did the series plan to pay tribute to the queen?
The death of Elizabeth II had unexpected repercussions. Since the announcement of Her Majesty’s death, Netflix viewers have been devouring the series The Crown, which looks back on her reign which would have lasted more than 70 years. The production has announced to pause the filming of the sixth season out of respect for Elizabeth II. “The Crown is above all a love letter to the Queen. I have nothing to add at this time, just silence and respect. I imagine that we will stop filming the series for now, by respect”confided Peter Morgan, the creator of the show, to Deadline. From what we know, it seems that The Crown will not address the death of Queen Elizabeth II in its final season.. When writing the series, the creator explained that he didn’t want to get too close to the modern era since the last season will take place in the 2000s.
“I try to stay focused on the story and not on the present, he previously told The Hollywood Reporter. I like to make sure there’s at least a generation between the events I write about and what’s going on around me.” In any case, the queen’s death comes at a delicate time for the Netflix series, because season 5 of The Crown will depict the darkest period of the monarch’s reign: the famous annus horribilus. In 1992, Prince Andrew divorced Sarah Ferguson, Princess Anne divorced Mark Phillips, Prince Charles and Princess Diana separated, one of the Queen’s favorite castles nearly burned down, the Prime Minister of he era opened up a discussion of Crown tax benefits and Her Majesty was egged on in Germany.

It is also the year of the famous interview granted by Lady Diana to Panorama, the disclosure of private recordings of King Charles III, but also the publication of compromising photos of Sarah Ferguson. Season 5 of The Crown will air from November 2022 before a new lead actress. After Claire Foy who played the queen in seasons 1 and 2, Olivia Colman who played her in seasons 3 and 4, and it is Imelda Staunton who takes over the role of Elizabeth II. Faced with Elizabeth II, it is actor Jonathan Pryce, seen in particular in Game of Thrones in the role of the Great Sparrow, who will play Prince Philip.
