Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 on September 8, after her 70-year reign. And although dozens of movies and TV series have been written that collect sections from his life, one of the most important is undoubtedly ‘The Crown’. The award-winning Netflix series covers her entire life, from her marriage to Felipe de Edinburgh and, for now, the late 20th century with Margaret Thatcher’s surrogate and Lady Di’s royal family raids.
‘The Crown’, which has completed the recording of its fifth season and produced the sixth and finale, will be a part of World War II. She will try to continue Elizabeth’s story in her final years. However, before the queen event, she wanted to pay homage to the figure in the series. Creator Peter Morgan sent an email to Deadline’s editorial staff that read: “‘The Crown’ This is a love letter to him and for now I have nothing to add, just silence and respect. I hope we stop filming out of respect.”
This decision has actually been considered for a long time. A few years ago, as reported by the same source, producer Stephen Daldry said, “none of us know when that time will come, but it is right and proper to respect the queen. It would be a simple gesture of respect and deference.” It is still unknown how long this hiatus will be in the filming of one of the most important series of the last decade. It will not affect the premiere plans for now, because next season, the fifth one is ready and is expected to be released by Netflix next November.
