Netflix announces release date of ‘The Crown’ final season
Netflix has announced that the final season of ‘The Crown’ will be released in two parts later this year.
The first installment of the historical TV drama’s sixth season will be released on 16 November with part two to follow on 14 December.
Netflix announced the release date with a clip showing the actors who have played the Queen reflecting on the monarch’s role within the country.
The series, broadly based on historical events, depicts a fictionalised version of the British royal family.
After the past versions of the Queen, played by Claire Foy and Olivia Colman, speak about their duty, the current Queen, played by Imelda Staunton, walks up to a window where her figure stands as a silhouette in front of a crowd of cheering onlookers.
Netflix said the sixth season will cover events from 1997 to 2005. Part 1 will see Elizabeth Debicki return as Princess Diana, Dominic West play now-King Charles, Jonathan Pryce reprise his role as Prince Philip, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret and Staunton star as Queen Elizabeth.
Salim Daw and Khalid Abdalla are also back as Mohamed Al Fayed and Dodi Fayed, and Part 1 will see Rufus Kampa and Fflyn Edwards make their debuts as a young Prince William and Prince Harry.
The first four episodes of Part 1 will follow the relationship between Diana and Dodi before the fatal car accident in Paris in 1997. However, the moment of impact will be excluded from the show.
It is not a choice. It is a duty. The final season of The Crown arrives next month.
