It's been two years since The Crown last premiered, and the ascension of King Charles III has cast an even brighter spotlight on one of the world's most-streamed shows.
The fifth season of the Netflix series will be the first to be released after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September and her husband, Prince Philip, in 2021.
By way of a catch-up, the last season of The Crown ended with the Queen forbidding Prince Charles from divorcing Diana, with Prince Philip also warning the Princess of Wales against "officially" breaking away from the royal family, saying: "I can't see it ending well for you."
