While the world eagerly awaits the fifth season, the one that will see Imelda Staunton in the role of Queen Elizabeth and Elizabeth Debicki in that of Lady Diana, Netflix plans to strike while the iron is hot and to think about a possible prequel of The Crown. According to Variety, in fact, the streaming giant and Left Bank Pictures, the production house of the series, they would be thinking of a new history linked to the British monarchy but which, for now, has neither the green light nor a certain idea about development.
The prequel to The Crown could start with Queen Victoria’s death in 1901 and extend to the start of the first season of the series, or rather Elizabeth’s marriage to Philip in 1947. According to Daily Mail, Peter Morgan, creator of the series, would have already thought about a development of at least three seasons, even if Variety he does not feel like fully confirming what appears to be pure speculation. The fact remains that, if this were indeed the case, the prequel to The Crown it would cover a time span of 50 years and the reign of four rulers: Edward VII (1901-10), George V (1910-36), Edward VIII (1936) and George VI (1936-52).
At the moment, The Crownincluding 11 Emmys won in 2021, 2 in 2020, 5 in 2018 and 3 in 2017, is one of the most awarded titles in the Netflix catalog, and it is normal that the platform is planning to continue it well beyond the sixth season which, as we know, will be the last – the shooting, if you are interested, will start in August. Meanwhile, we know that the fifth season will see the light in November with a new cast who will play members of the royal house in the 1990s: from Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth to Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip; from Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret to Dominic West as Prince Charles, to Elizabeth Debicki and Olivia Williams as Diana and Camilla Parker Bowles.
