The fourth season of The Crown, which follows the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II, is set to be released on Netflix on November 15, 2020.[3]

Premise

The Crown traces the life of Queen Elizabeth II from her wedding in 1947 through to the present day.[4]

The fourth season introduces Lady Diana Spencer and is set during Margaret Thatcher's premiership, and will introduce Prince William and Prince Harry.[5][6] Events depicted include the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer,[7] their 1983 tour of Australia and New Zealand,[8][9] the Falklands War,[10] Michael Fagan's break-in at Buckingham Palace, the Princess of Wales's appearance at the Barnardo's Champion Children Awards and her 1989 flight on Concorde.[11]

Cast


Production

Development

By October 2017, "early production" had begun on an anticipated third and fourth season,[12] and by the following January, Netflix confirmed the series had been renewed for a third and fourth season.[5]

Casting

The producers will recast some roles with older actors every two seasons, as the timeline moves forward and the characters age.[23] In October 2017, Olivia Colman was cast as Queen Elizabeth II for the third and fourth seasons.[12] By January 2018, Helena Bonham Carter and Paul Bettany were in negotiations to portray Princess Margaret and Prince Philip, respectively, for these seasons.[24][25] However, by the end of the month Bettany was forced to drop out due to the time commitment required.[26] By the end of March 2018, Tobias Menzies was cast as Prince Philip for the third and fourth seasons.[13] In early May 2018, Bonham Carter was confirmed to have been cast, alongside Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson.[14] The next month, Ben Daniels was cast as Antony Armstrong-Jones for the third season,[15] along with Erin Doherty joining the series as Princess Anne.[16] A month later, Josh O'Connor and Marion Bailey were cast as Prince Charles and the Queen Mother, respectively, for the third and fourth seasons.[17] In October 2018, Emerald Fennell was cast as Camilla Shand.[18] In December 2018, Charles Dance was cast as Louis Mountbatten.[19] In April 2019, Emma Corrin was cast as Lady Diana Spencer for the fourth season.[27] Gillian Anderson, who had been rumoured since January 2019 to be in talks to portray Margaret Thatcher in the fourth season, was officially confirmed for the role in September 2019.[21][28][29]

Claire Foy is set to return to the role of Queen Elizabeth II for a flashback scene in the fourth season.[30]

Filming

The fourth season began filming in August 2019 and wrapped in March 2020.[31][32] The show's producers confirmed that filming was completed before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and the release date would not be delayed.[33]

Release

The fourth season will be released on November 15, 2020.[34][3]
