The new season will also star Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Dominic West as Prince Charles, and Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana. Olivia Williams joins them as Camilla Parker Bowles and Jonny Lee Miller will appear as Prime Minister John Major.
Season 6 of the show was already in production, but after the death of Queen Elizabeth, production was believed to have paused. “The Crown is a love letter to [the late Queen] and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect,” said creator Peter Morgan. “I expect we will stop filming out of respect too.”
IGN’s review of The Crown Season 4 gave it 9/10 and said: “Netflix's The Crown continues to prove why it's one of the best shows on television in Season 4, with amazing performances from its ensemble of characters and superb writing from showrunner Peter Morgan and his team. These 10 episodes successfully keep a balanced focus on both Queen Elizabeth's complicated relationship with Margaret Thatcher and the exploration of what makes Charles and Diana's relationship tick. Season 4 is another crowning achievement for the series – though it is bittersweet to say goodbye to such a talented group, as Netflix will recast their roles with older actors for the final two seasons.”
