The death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8 could shake up how Netflix markets and rolls out the rest of the hit series « The Crown. »
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, September 8, Netflix has yet to make anything public regarding its plans for the hit drama The Crown. However, it’s already clear that the passing of the UK’s longest-ruling monarch could impact this fan-favorite series that dramatizes the lives of the commonwealth’s Royal Family in any numbers of ways.
Among the things that we already do know for sure? For one thing, the show’s producers had prepped a plan for the queen’s passing. It called for, among other things, shutting down any production and shooting for at least a week. And, indeed, sources close to The Crown creator Peter Morgan have already confirmed to our sister publication Variety that production will likely pause on the show’s sixth and final season.
The Crown Season 5, meanwhile, is the season that’s coming first, hitting Netflix in November. And this time around, there will be an all-new cast.
