Netflix confirms release date of The Crown Season 5 with new cast as the royal family

The return date of hit Netflix series The Crown has been confirmed, and fans don’t have long to wait until they can watch the new season.

The streaming giant confirmed that the royal drama, which depicts a fictionalised version of events surrounding the royal family during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II , will launch on November 9 . The exciting news was announced during Netflix’s Tudum event, which showcases the films and series coming soon to the platform.

Filming on the latest season was paused following news of the Queen’s death on September 8, and filming was also suspended on the day of the monarch’s funeral as a mark of respect. The upcoming season will be the show’s fifth - it was initially due to be the final season of The Crown, but the show’s creator and writer Peter Morgan later revealed that the popular show will be extended to a sixth season.
