Netflix has unveiled a set of new images from the upcoming fifth season of its hit series “The Crown” featuring a brand new cast. One image feature Princess Diana (played by Elizabeth Debicki, taking over from Emma Corrin in the previous season) clad in a sparkly gown as she heads into a glamorous evening engagement, her shoulders hunched and head bowed.
Th other images released feature Olivia Williams and Dominic West as Camilla Parker Bowles and Prince Charles, Prince William (Timothee Sambor) and Prince Harry (Teddy Hawley) as well as Imelda Staunton as the late Queen Elizabeth II alongside her husband Prince Philip (Jonathan Pryce). Check out the images below:
“That’s the amazing thing about playing these people at this time, because in the journey of ‘The Crown’ so far out of all the seasons, this is the most visual content we have of the Royal Family,”
Debicki told Netflix’s fansite Tudum, who first revealed the images.
“In the ‘90s everything had started to be filmed and also it was the birth of the 24-hour news cycle so there’s just this incredible amount of content that we have access to. Diana was the most photographed person in the world at that time. As an actor you open the portal and this huge tsunami of information comes at you. I happily swam around in it.”
Dominic West added:
“I think people understand, because the cast has changed every two seasons, that this is not an imitation. This is an evoking of a character. That’s really where the show lives: in the imagined conversations of their private life, which is something that no one knows. I think that’s what it gets a lot of criticism for. How can you know what they talk about in their private lives? The obvious answer is we don’t, but we have an incredible writer, a dramatist, who imagines based on exhaustive research, and that’s really part of the fascination of the show.”
Season 5 of The Crown stars Imelda Staunton taking over the role of Queen Elizabeth II from Olivia Colman. The cast also includes Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, Dominic West as the Prince of Wales, Jonathan Pryce as the Duke of Edinburgh, and Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret. ‘The Crown’ has been renewed for a sixth and final season at Netflix
