The Crown Season 5: 6 Quick Things We Know About The Netflix Series - CinemaBlend

We are still quite some time away from seeing how The Crown handles some of the biggest scandals and momentous occasions of the final decade of the 20th Century, but with a whole new cast of actors and so many historic events to cover, there's doubt about it, the penultimate season of the critically acclaimed and beloved drama will be just as great as it has been in the past.

In July 2020, it was reported that The Crown Season 5 wouldn't return to Netflix until 2022.

And based on the release dates of the previous four chapters in the drama series, it probably won't be until November or December 2022 before we pick up where things left off for Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Diana, and the rest of the royals we have come to love and loathe since the show's 2016 debut.

In order to get everything ready for the fall 2022 premiere of The Crown Season 5, Left Bank Pictures, the production company behind the award-winning Netflix drama, will start shooting at some point in June 2021.

Just as was the case with The Crown Season 3 when it first aired in November 2019, the show's return for Season 5 in 2022 will feature an entirely new cast.

Word of Imelda Staunton being hired as the third and final actress to portray Queen Elizabeth II on The Crown started circulating shortly after Season 3 first aired on Netflix in November 2019.

It has to be confirmed the exact years that will be covered in The Crown Season 5, but if we go off of previous seasons, we should pick back up with Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of the royal family in the show's version of the early '90s when it returns in 2022.
