Newcomer Emma Corrin is getting the royal treatment: The British actress has joined The Crown‘s Season 4 cast in the role of Lady Diana Spencer, better known as Princess Diana.
She joins a Season 4 cast that includes The X-Files‘ Gillian Anderson, who was reportedly tapped to play former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in January.
Season 3, meanwhile, will premiere sometime in 2019, though an exact release date has not been announced.
To explore her through Peter Morgan’s writing is the most exceptional opportunity and I will strive to do her justice!”
