Everything we know about the fifth season of The Crown

November 25, 2020

The new season of The crownavailable from 15 November, it was eaten out of breath by all the drug addicts in the history of the English crown.

In this season 4, we were in the ’80s – the series that was about a decade per season – with the meeting then the marriage, the deceptions and the disappointments of Lady Di and Prince Charles. All with costumes and looks to envy anyone with a soft spot the eighties.

We were also able to discover the beginnings of Princess Margaret’s illness, Margaret Thatcher’s iron fist, the IRA attack, the discovery of the shameful secrets of the royal family, in short, we didn’t have time to get bored.

And already, while the last episode is still fresh in our crownless heads, we’re wondering about the upcoming season. What’s going to happen ? Who will be the new actors who will embody the royal family? What will he talk about?

Sit down and grab a Cup of teawe tell you everything we know.

The crown season 5: a new cast

You’ve probably noticed (unless you really have a visual memory): The Crown actors change every two seasons to get closer to the true age of the protagonists.

For season 5, therefore, the entire cast will be replaced and good news, there is already qsome names in circulation!

So to interpret the Queen ElizabethImelda Staunton, known for the role of the terrible Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter, will replace the great Olivia Colman.

With regard to Prince Philip, Bye bye Tobias Menzies and Hello to Jonathan Pryce, the great sparrow in Game of Thrones.

For the role of Mrs. Diplayed in this season 4 by the genius Emma Corrin, it was given to Elizabeth Debicki, who got noticed in the film principle by Christopher Nolan.

The Princess Margaret was played by the prodigious Helena Bonham Carter. For the fifth season, Leslie Manville, known for her roles in Maleficent Where is it Phantom Thread she will become the queen’s little sister.

And finally, to play the one who broke Diana’s heart, Dominic West is also expected to join the cast. New Prince Charlesplayed in these last two seasons by Josh O’Connor, he should be replaced by the one who made himself known in The deal And The cable.

For the rest of the cast, for the moment, there is no other information. But I guess we will know very soon who will play the roles of the other children of the Queen, the Queen Mother or even Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Small bonus: the actors of seasons 3 and 4 talking about their roles before saying goodbye. Touching.

The crown season 5: long-awaited intrigues

If we follow the timing logic of the series, the next season should take place in the 90s. And so much to say that this decade has been particularly rich for the royal family.

First of all we can hope to see the breakup of Charles and Diana cured, but also the divorce of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, as well as the separation of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

The famous year 1992called by the queen herself horrible year “, Where all these events are chained, also saw a fire decimate Windsor Castle. Andrew Morton’s book was also published around this time, ” Diana: Its true story “, Whose sources came directly from the princess herself, and which shook the already shaky family.

Definitely, 92, was the year of the dep ‘for the inhabitants of Buckingham Palace.

Finally, we will certainly also see Margaret Thatcher’s substitutes at 10 Downing Street, namely John Major and then the famous Tony Blair, known for being the first Labor to take the reins of the United Kingdom since 1979.

Of course, the most anticipated part of the Windsor story is the tragic death of Lady Di, which took place in August 1997. How will this event be managed? Will it be flown over, as for the episode of the wedding of Charles and Diana? Or will season 5 stop shortly before, to perhaps study it later in season 6?

The crown Season 5: Season 6 is also planned

Yes, because it’s also the good news: Season 5 fortunately won’t be the last, as Netflix announced. Peter Morgan, the creator of the series, confirmed this in an interview for Deadline :

“When we started discussing the storylines for season five, it quickly became clear that to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story, we needed to go back to the original plan and do six seasons.

To be clear, the sixth season will not bring us closer to the last few years, but will only allow us to cover the same time period in more detail. “

As a result, we still don’t know how they will be cut 1990s and early 2000s in the coming seasons.

But as the sixth season is supposed to be the last, we should also witness the deaths of the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, both of whom died in 2002, and, perhaps, the meeting between Kate and William.

But the story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shouldn’t be discussed, as it is still too recent in the history of the royal family.

As for the release of the season, filming of the latter is not scheduled until summer 2021should see daylight inside 2022or in an eternity.

But it takes what it takes, and if the next two seasons are as spectacular as the previous ones, it’s worth the wait.
