There are new signings to tell the story of royal family in the nineties.
The fifth season of ‘The Crown’ prepares for a new generational change: new cast and new stories, but with the same characters and monarchical dramas as always. One of the best Netflix series will return soon with new episodes that will delight the ardent followers of Her Majesty.
Yes indeed, Olivia Colman says goodbye and passes the baton to a new queen: Imelda Staunton. Actors, plot, etc… What secrets will Buckingham reveal to us in the future? What will he teach us? Here we collect everything we know (for now) about season 5 of ‘The Crown’: release date, synopsis, cast, official images and more. What continues to be one of the best period series on Netflix, hand in hand with ‘The Bridgertons’, still has a lot to tell.
‘The Crown’, season 5: when will it premiere?
Yet There is no confirmed premiere date for season 5 of ‘The Crown’although it is expected to arrive on Netflix in November 2022.
Here is the video in which the actress addressed the audience and commented on how delighted she was to take over from Olivia Colman and Claire Foy.
For now, and despite what we were told at the beginning of the year, we now know that The fifth season of ‘The Crown will no longer be the last. In November 2016, Netflix content chief Ted Sarandos confirmed that Morgan’s initial draft outlined six seasons. “The idea is to do this over six decades, presumably over six seasons, and make the whole show eight to 10 years,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
At the end of January, he acknowledged that “at first I had envisioned ‘The Crown’ running for six seasons, but now that we’ve started working on the stories for the fifth, it’s clear to me that this is the perfect time and place to stop,” Morgan said in a statement. However, this changed again in the summer. Morgan confirmed that the series would return for a sixth season. “When we began to discuss the stories of the fifth, it soon became clear that to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story, we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons“, He assured. “To be clear, the sixth installment will not bring us closer to the present, it will simply allow us to cover the same period in greater detail.”
Therefore, it seems almost certain that ‘The Crown’ will reach some more current details, such as those concerning Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, or Prince Andrew’s friendship ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
‘The Crown’, season 5: who will form the cast?
The actress Imelda Staunton, the Dolores Umbridge of the Harry Potter saga, will be the new monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, and the one in charge of carrying the weight in these two new seasons, as has been the case with its predecessors, Claire Foy and Olivia Colman. Rumors about the casting of Staunton, with titles in his career as disparate as ‘Shakespeare in Love’, ‘Pride’, ‘Vera Drake’s Secret’, ‘Peter’s Friends’, etc, caused a sensation when the first news began on November 2019. The news was confirmed in January 2020.
Netflix thus collected Staunton’s statements about his casting: “I loved seeing The Crown from the beginning. As an actress it was a pleasure to see how Claire Foy and Olivia Colman brought something special and unique to Peter Morgan’s scripts. I am truly honored to join such an exceptional creative team and to bring ‘The Crown’ to its conclusion.“.
Staunton will be accompanied by new faces: after Helena Bonham Carter and Vanessa Kirby, Lesley Manville (‘The invisible thread’, ‘An extraordinary love’, ‘Harlots’) will be in charge of giving life to the queen’s little sister, Princess Margaret.
As for the king consort, Matt Smith was in the first and second and then Tobias Menzies in the last two. now it will be Jonathan Price (‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Evita’, ‘The good wife’, ‘Tomorrow never dies’) the one in charge of being one step behind the sovereign.
If in this new fourth season Lady Di has caused a real revolution, it will continue to be so in the following years. Emma Corrin is given way by the actress Elizabeth Debicki (‘Tenet’, ‘The Great Gatsby’) as Diana of Wales.
We have known her husband Prince Charles in fiction with the face of Josh O’Connor, who now passes the baton to Dominic West. The actor from ‘The Wire’ or ‘The Affair’ is in talks to be the heir to the crown in the series. As for other faces already seen in the series, we will also see Gillian Anderson in the shoes of Margaret Thatcher once again, and Jonny Lee Miller succeeding her as Prime Minister, given that he will be John Major in the series. Dodi Al-Fayed will be played by Khalid Abdalla (‘Kites in the Sky’). Olivia Williams will be the new Camilla Parker Bowles after Emerald Fennell I will interpret it in the previous deliveries. After the alleged controversy with the role of Prince Andrew, which later the series staff has denied, this summer it was announced that James Murray will now play Carlos’ brother.
The new season also has a face to bring Prince William to life in those years: Senan West, Dominic’s son, he will also act as a son in fiction, becoming the eldest son of Carlos and Diana in those troubled 90s. The actor debuts in acting at the age of 13.
It has also been known that the Pakistani actor Humayun Saeed has been chosen to play the doctor Hasnat Khan. Khan is a surgeon of Pakistani origin who had a relationship with Lady Di between 1995 and 1997, just before she began her relationship with Dodi Al-Fayed during the last months of the princess’s life. israeli actor salim daw He will be in charge of playing Mohamed Al-Fayed, the millionaire businessman father of Dodi.
‘The Crown’, season 5: time and synopsis
Season 4 ends in 1990, the year Thatcher stepped down as Prime Minister. From there, the time that the fifth will travel is unknown. However, Deadline reported that season 6 will not run until the early 2000s. The series will probably go into the 90s, although it is not known for now where it will end..
The decade of the nineties has several relevant data in the United Kingdom, which will surely be taken into account for the series:
If things have happened in the palace in the 80s, it is little compared to what lies ahead for the Windsors.
‘The Crown’, season 5: official images
This is how Netflix shared the image of Staunton characterized in the protagonist.
The streaming giant has also offered images, separately, of the new Carlos and Diana. West characterized in an exterior as the queen’s eldest son. He standing, with his hand in his pocket (a very common pose of the real Carlos), and wearing a suit in shades of brown.
On the other hand, Debicki is lying on what looks like a sofa, thoughtful, and, although it is not well appreciated, the style of clothing and hairstyle is totally from the Lady Di of those years.
The series has taken the filming to Mallorca, and images already appear in which the actress is scared with the good characterization of her character. It’s almost hard to recognize her.
On November 6, new images of Debicki appeared wearing the iconic dress black that Diana wore to a Vanity Fair benefit at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens in 1994.
The latest images show Debicki alongside Dau playing Diana and Mohamed.
Are you looking forward to November?
