The Crown season 5 — What will the show be like?
It should be known that we have seen Price starring in a variety of roles in the tragedies of Shakespeare. He has even won an Olivier Award for Hamlet on Broadway. Till this point in time, we have seen that the four installments of The Crown have spanned over four decades. Keeping this fact in mind, The Crown season 5 could start its story from the early 90sand might come to an end in the early Noughties. Previously, we have seen Morgan alluding in one of his statements that Staunton is going to take The Crown season 5 into the 21st century. In this outing, we might witness the divorce between Prince Charles as well as Princess Diana that eventually happened in 1996. Then we will witness the events of her death that happened in 1997. All this while, Morgan is going to tread through familiar ground having written the screenplay for The Queen back in 2006. This project starred Helen Mirren in the form of a monarch who is struggling with the public grief in the wake of the accident. Other notable events that happening in the decade were the golden wedding anniversary of the Queen back in 1997. Later, we also saw the death of Princess Margaret as well as the Queen Mother in 2002 Later, we saw the Golden Jubilee of 2002.
The Crown Season 5 — When will it release?
Obviously, there still are some other storylines that the royal fans are expecting from the show. We all want to see the first encounter of Prince William with Kate Middleton. This happened in 2001 when the pair were studying at the University of St Andrews. As for the release date, we can not expect The Crown season 5 to come out before late 2021 or maybe even early 2022. Another happy news for the fans of The Crown comes when it is announced by Morgan that a sixth installment will also happen. Despite the fact that he previously said that The Crown season 5 would be the last, he changed his mind later.
