Netflix has finally revealed the launch date for the fourth season of “The Crown” via its Twitter accounts on Thursday, Aug. 20.
Fans of the British monarchy will have to wait until Sunday, Nov. 15 to see Gillian Anderson take on the role of Margaret Thatcher and Emma Corrin that of Princess Diana alongside Olivia Colman who makes her return as Queen Elizabeth II.
The announcement was accompanied by a short 46-second teaser, which allows us to glimpse two new characters and a final scene that shows the legendary wedding dress of the Princess of Wales.
This will be the last round for much of the cast, which will change significantly for the fifth season. Fans will have to savor these 10 episodes as the series will be taking a break of two years before the fifth season is rolled out. In that season, Imelda Staunton (“Harry Potter”) will succeed Olivia Colman in the role of her Majesty the Queen of England.
Meanwhile, for this new, fourth season, intrigue will center around the arrival of the Iron Lady as the head of the government and the conflict-filled relationship between Prince Charles and Diana. IB
