The award-winning team behind Netflix’s new royal drama The Crown has already “mapped out” the next two seasons of the biopic, with the action running up to the end of the 1980s and the marriage of Diana to Prince Charles.
The fact that the series is launching on the US-based streaming service has highlighted the expansion of global entertainment groups into the UK.
The UK marketing plan involves special screenings for the Women’s Institute.
The first season deals with the relationship between Princess Margaret and Group Captain Peter Townsend in the 1950s as well as the Queen’s accession to the throne.
