The change comes just six months after Netflix announced Season 5 as The Crown‘s last.
Thanks to The Crown creator/executive producer Peter Morgan changing his mind about the fifth season finale doubling as a series finale, the Netflix historical drama now will continue for an unexpected sixth season, the streamer announced Thursday.
With the new change in place, Season 5’s Queen Elizabeth, Imelda Staunton (the Harry Potter films), follows her predecessors, Claire Foy and Olivia Colman, in portraying the royal for two seasons.
Queen Elizabeth II’s reign on the throne just got a little longer.
