The fifth season of Netflix’s “The Crown” has set a release date of November 9th with the streamer announcing the date as part of its Tudum virtual global fan event. The date was reportedly decided several weeks before Queen Elizabeth II died.
The fifth season will deal with the tumultuous events concerning the royal family including the divorces of three of the queen’s children. The final episode of the season is reportedly expected to deal with the 1997 car crash in Paris that led to Diana’s death.
Production on the show’s sixth season was halted on the day of the queen’s death and on the day of the state funeral on Monday.
The new run stars Imelda Staunton as the Queen, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, Marcia Warren as the Queen Mother, Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker Bowles, Khalid Abdallas as Dodi Al-Fayed, and Salim Daw as Mohamed Al-Fayed.
