“The Crown” Season 6 is set to be the final season of the long-running Netflix drama that follows the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The series, which premiered Season 5 in November 2022, briefly paused filming for Season 6 in September 2022 following the Queen’s death. The creator, Peter Morgan, referred to the series as a “love letter” to the late monarch.
The sixth season is expected to be released in fall 2023, although an exact date hasn’t been confirmed. The cast from Season 5 will return, including Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, Dominic West as Prince Charles, and Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret. New additions to the cast include Rufus Kampa and Ed McVey as Prince William at different ages, and Meg Bellamy as Kate Middleton.
The plot of Season 6 will cover the royal family during the late 1990s and early 2000s. It will include the death of Princess Diana in 1997, although the crash itself will not be depicted. Instead, the episode will include scenes contrasting Prince Charles and Mohamad Al-Fayed collecting the bodies of Diana and Dodi, respectively. The season will also likely feature Diana’s final days. The series will also cover the time when Prince William and Kate Middleton first met at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
The series won’t cover recent events such as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping down from royal duties or any of the subsequent drama that followed. The series won’t go that far into the present day — meaning it won’t cover Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth’s deaths, Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare or Prince Charles’ 2023 coronation.
The sixth and final season of The Crown will be available to stream on Netflix. In the meantime, you can watch the first five seasons on Netflix now.
