On Friday, November 4th, audiences around the world will be introduced to the Netflix original series The Crown and given a sneak behind the curtain on the personal, political and deeply private world of Queen Elizabeth II’s struggle to reconcile her personal life and public role, the Monarchy, and its precarious position in shifting the sands of post-war politics.
The Crown reunites acclaimed writer Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) with director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) and producer Andy Harries (The Queen).
A Netflix original series, The Crown focuses on Queen Elizabeth II as a 25-year-old newlywed faced with the daunting prospect of leading the world’s most famous monarchy while forging a relationship with legendary Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill.
The British Empire is in decline, the political world is in disarray, and a young woman takes the throne….a new era is dawning.
