Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming season ofThe Crown. The third season of the show will continue to follow the life of Queen Elizabeth II, but the entire show has been recast to allow for the time jump. The new season starsOlivia Colmanas Queen Elizabeth II,Tobias Menziesas Prince Phillip,Helena Bonham Carteras Princess Margaret,Ben Danielsas Tony Armstrong-Jones,Josh O’Connoras Prince Charles,Erin Dohertyas Princess Anne,Marion Baileyas The Queen Mother, andJason Watkinsas Prime Minister Harold Wilson. The third season will cover 1964-1977.
Olivia Colman has been a rock-star actress for years, but she finally got the widespread recognition she deserved last year forThe Favourite, which ended up with her winning the Oscar for Best Actress in a surprise upset over Glenn Close. WhileThe Crownis already one of Netflix’s more popular shows, having an Oscar-winning actress in the lead role certainly won’t harm the show’s following, and I’m eager to see how Colman’s take on Queen Elizabeth compares toClaire Foy, who played the character for the first two seasons. I’m also curious if the show will continue to feel likeThe Crown, or if Season 3 will seem like a reset of sorts since they’ve now got a new cast.
Check outThe Crownteaser trailer below. The third season arrives on Sunday, November 17th.
