The fifth season of The Crown has just been released on Netflix, but we’re already looking forward to and reporting on all the details of the impending sixth and final season. Production began in September, and it is anticipated that the series will return to Netflix by the end of 2023.
The Crown, which was created by Peter Morgan, has become one of the most popular Netflix Originals. Since its inaugural season, The Crown has been one of the most costly television series ever produced, with each season costing more than $100 million to create. Peter Morgan altered his decision and a sixth season was announced shortly after production began on the fifth season.
Release Date of The Crown Season 6
There is currently no official release date for The Crown season 6, but that does not mean there is no information about future episodes. Production is now ongoing, having begun in August 2022.
Seasons 1 and 2 aired in 2016 and 2017, followed by Seasons 3 and 4 in 2019 and 2020. Given that season 5 premiered in 2022, this could imply that the series’ conclusion will air in 2023.
The Crown Season 6 Plotline
In contrast to previous seasons of The Crown, which span nearly a decade, season 6 is set in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This means that the Netflix drama series would chronicle the circumstances leading up to the vehicle catastrophe involving Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed on August 31, 1997, in Paris.
Elizabeth Debicki, star of The Crown, has indicated that Princess Diana’s death will be depicted with care and that the vehicle collision itself will not be shown. Season 6 of The Crown will instead focus on Princess Diana’s final days and the aftermath of her passing. Showrunner Peter Morgan also said (via Deadline) that season 6 of The Crown will not seek to extend its storyline to the current day and will instead focus on the mid-2000s.
