Crown Quotes: “The Crown” is a highly acclaimed historical drama television series about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, created and principally written by Peter Morgan. The show premiered on Netflix in November 2016 and has been lauded for its meticulous attention to historical detail, compelling storytelling, and stellar performances.
The series is notable for its unique approach to casting. Instead of having the same actors age with the character, the show recasts its roles at intervals to better match the characters’ ages during the periods being depicted. After two seasons with the original cast, including Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth and Matt Smith as Prince Philip, the roles were taken over by Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies respectively in the third and fourth seasons. Imelda Staunton is set to play Queen Elizabeth in the final two seasons.
