THE CROWN CONFIRMS SEASON 5 RELEASE DATE

A new season of The Crown is coming this November.

Netflix has confirmed the new series will land on 9th November. The fifth season, which stars Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West as Diana and Charles, explores the breakdown of the marriage between the Prince and the Princess of Wales.

Fronting the new cast are Imelda Staunton and Jonathan Pryce, who will take over the roles of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip from Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies.

Lesley Manville also joins as Princess Margaret, with Claudia Harrison taking on the role of Princess Anne, and Jonny Lee Miller playing Prime Minister John Major.

Season 4 of The Crown follows the royal family throughout the turbulent 1980s, ending with a fraught Christmas reunion in 1990. The finale leaves Diana and Charles increasingly at odds and searching for meaning as a new decade dawns.

The Crown is available on Netflix.
