Is the Queen being replaced? Recently, The Crown creator Peter Morgan spoke with People about his plans for future seasons of the Netflix TV series
The historical drama chronicles the early years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. The cast includes Claire Foy, Matt Smith, John Lithgow, Victoria Hamilton, Jared Harris, Vanessa Kirby, and Dame Eileen Atkins. Netflix has already renewed the show for a second season.
In the interview, Morgan said the next season will focus less on the Queen and more on Prince Philip and a young Prince Charles:
We start to focus on Charles as a young boy and his education, and on Philip and his back story. … It’s goodbye to a different, Edwardian, post-Imperial world. We get a classlessness and a modernity beginning to creep in. It is going to be terrific.”
But what about season three? Morgan says that future seasons will see new actors playing the parts as the characters age. Additionally, Princess Diana will make an appearance “toward the end of season three and will be heavily featured in the following two seasons.”
Season two of The Crown is expected to premiere in late 2017.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Netflix series? Are you excited for the new seasons?
I love the Crown!!!
Ready for season 3!!!
Love, love, love The Crown. Bring on season three.
I love the series and am ready for 3
I binge watched season 2. It was wonderful and I felt that I knew and understood the Queen so much ch more. I loved her relationship with Prince Philip. It made her seem more human. I want more seasons to watch!!
Cast should remain as it is. To recast Queen Elizabeth I think would be a bad outcome for the series. Very much looking forward to the new season. Too much time in between seasons though.
I was hoping that the show would be all about Queen Elizabeth as it is called “The Crown”. Also, the cast as it was is brilliant. Why would you want to change that?
Loved season one, but feel that changing the star would be a terrible mistake. Claire Foy is so perfect in the role. I think it would be hard to accept a new actress.
Just finished season one. Need season two NOW,
