‘The Crown’ To End With Season 5, With Imelda Staunton Succeeding Olivia Colman

by

The monarchy is approaching its final days. Well, on TV, at least. The Crown, Netflix’s lavish drama about the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II, will end with its fifth season. Season 3 of the series dropped on Netflix last year, with Olivia Colman taking over the lead from Claire Foy. Colman will stay in the role for season 4, but come season 5, it’ll be time for Imelda Staunton to assume the throne.
