The crown The double release dates of season 6 are also quite fitting for the popular Netflix series. All five previous seasons of the show debuted in November or December, so we should have expected the final outing to take place before the end of the year.
Not content with delivering season 6 release dates to the fanbase of the hugely popular royal drama, Netflix also debuted an official teaser for The crown‘s latest entry.
The short trailer, which you can watch below, doesn’t offer much new footage. Instead, it features Imelda Staunton’s depiction of the late Queen Elizabeth II walking through several corridors of Buckingham Palace before preparing to stand on the building’s famous balcony to greet the crowds below. As she walks through the labyrinthine halls, a voiceover from the actresses who portrayed the monarch accompanies the images, while the loud ticking of a clock sounds with ominous regularity.
The crown‘s sixth season will follow the events that take place between 1997 and 2005. In Part 1, the primary focus will be on the blossoming romance of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) and Dody Fayed (Khalid Abdalla), leading to that fateful night in August 1997, when the duo died in a car accident that devastated the nation.
Season 6 Part 2, meanwhile, will focus a lens on Prince William (Ed McVey) as he tries to reintegrate into life at Eton College following the shocking death of his mother. The final episodes of the season will also look at how the monarchy dealt with the public’s changing views on the matter in the wake of Diana’s death, the Queen’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, William’s budding relationship with future wife Kate (Meg Bellamy ) and that of Charles (Dominic West). marriage to Camilla (Olivia Williams).
Since the first season premiered in 2016, The crown – one of the best Netflix shows – has won multiple awards for the world’s best streaming service, including 21 Emmy wins and four Golden Globe wins. However, despite the popularity of the prestige drama, it has also received fierce criticism from people within – and associated with – the British royal family. Expect this season’s explosive storylines to perform a similar feat later this year.
Joining the aforementioned actors in the show’s star roster are Jonathan Pryce as Prince Phillip, Lesley Manvill as Princess Margaret, Claudia Harrison as Princess Anne, Bertie Carvel as Tony Blair, Salim Daw as the late Mohamed Al Fayad and Luther Ford as Prince Harry. Rufus Kampa and Fflyn Edwards will also play younger versions of William and Harry in Season 6, Part 1.
