Despite previously announcing that ‘The Crown” would run for five seasons, Netflix has announced that it has been renewed for a sixth and final season. “As we started to discuss the story lines for Series 5, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons,” stated creator Peter Morgan.
“The Crown,” which chronicles the British royal family dating back to 1947, has been a hit for Netflix, earning numerous awards and nominations, including multiple Emmys and BAFTAs.
Season four of “The Crown” is expected to be released later this year.
