It looks like The Crown will continue to reign. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, creator Peter Morgan discussed the future of the Netflix TV series.
The historical drama tells the story of a young Queen Elizabeth II. The cast includes Claire Foy, Matt Smith, Jared Harris, Vanessa Kirby, and John Lithgow.
In the interview, Morgan revealed that Netflix paid $100 million for two seasons of the series. The article also notes:
And, indeed, The Crown, is moving forward with a second season. In fact, director and executive producer Stephen Daldry said before the MoMA screening that the cast and crew were currently filming the second installment but took a break to screen the series’ first two episodes.
Morgan also mentioned that season two will follow Elizabeth II through 1964, the year Winston Churchill died:
It’s the post-Churchill era. But it’s still a very particular era of Britain. It’s not yet what I would call modern Britain. That would start in the mid-’60s.”
What do you think? Have you seen The Crown yet? Are you glad there will be a second season?
Love this new series! I am not typically a drama series person but, I love the history, wardrobe, characters and I am in love with the Queen. The struggles she has with being a sovereign. Well done!
Loved The Crown. Waiting for season Two.
lOVED IT
Enjoyed this series very much, great casting, hope we don’t have to wait long for season 2
This is the best produced series about the British Royal family I have ever seen. If mostly historically accurate, it is spellbinding. Every detail of the spirit, the times and the family is masterful. To say nothing of the acting! Impeccable! John Lithgow who plays Churchill deserves an academy award for his portrayal. This is one series that anyone anywhere, needs to see if nothing more than to experience British Royal history.
Loved season1, so much I binge watched it in one weekend… I can’t wait for season 2. I’m an American girl but love British history! I’m praying for seasons 3,4,5 etc., etc.!!
I just love it. Feels authentic and lots of attention to the historical record. Looking forward to Season 2.
I loved it, both the lead characters acted so well. Looking forward to season two.
This is an excellent show and whoever thought it up deserves an award! I never quite understood the royal family but since watching the first season after seeing the adverts for it I was extremely impressed. Every episode is very emotional and deeply specific. I love it and anyone who hasn’t seen the first series already needs to get their kids to bed, grab a cuppa, sit down, put their feet up and enjoy. I can’t wait for that time in the evening to watch my next episode and I’m in agony waiting for the 2nd series. Hurry up! The… Read more »
