Even as the world absorbs the saturation coverage of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, Netflix has revealed that ‘The Crown’ Season 5 will premiere on the streamer on November 9. The dramatised series, reports ‘Variety’, about the British Royal Family, will return with an entirely new cast.

Imelda Staunton (‘Harry Potter’) takes over from Olivia Colman as the Queen, while Jonathan Pryce (‘The Two Popes’) will play Prince Philip. Dominic West (‘The Affair’) will portray Prince Charles, Elizabeth Debicki (‘Tenet’) will appear as Princess Diana, Lesley Manville (‘Maleficent: Mistress of Evil’) joins as Princess Margaret, and Jonny Lee Miller (‘Elementary’) stars as Prime Minister John Major, who was very visible across television channels in the run-up to the Queen’s funeral.

The Crown’s announcement was made at the global fan event of Netflix, Tudum, which was preceded by the rollout of the Indian slate earlier in the day.
