According to Netflix, the new season of The Crown will see the Royal Family \u201cpresented with possibly their biggest challenge to date; as the public openly question their role in \u201990s Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the amazing thing about playing these people at this time, because in the journey of The Crown so far out of all the seasons, this is the most visual content we have of the Royal Family,\u201d Debicki told TUDUM<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the \u201990s everything had started to be filmed and also it was the birth of the 24-hour news cycle so there\u2019s just this incredible amount of content that we have access to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Across its run, The Crown has refreshed its cast every two seasons, with the fifth and final sixth season<\/a> to be fronted by its third set of regular performers. Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner Staunton will lead the new cast as Elizabeth II, following in the footsteps of Claire Foy and Olivia Colman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think people understand, because the cast has changed every two seasons, that this is not an imitation,\u201d said Dominic West of his performance as Prince \u2013 now King \u2013 Charles. \u201cThis is an evoking of a character.\u201d<\/p>\n
