The upcoming autumn season on Netflix is packed with amazing new shows. At the streaming service’s TUDUM event on Saturday, it was revealed that the fifth season of The Crown would premiere on November 9. The first trailer has been released, and it shows trouble for the royal family, notably Prince Charles and Princess Diana. In the preview, Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West, respectively, play Princess Diana and Prince Charles, who is on the verge of splitting up. Both are getting ready to give TV interviews about the issue.
The British news coverage of this historic event, with its high lighting, intense close-ups, and narration, has given me the creeps. Diana can be seen adjusting her hair, while Charles can be seen fidgeting with his hands as his face twitches, both of them seeming quite nervous. As the cameras film, we hear expressions like “All Out War” and “Princess of Wales upstaging her husband” that serve to underline the tensions in this “Broken Marriage” on national television. All that does is create the tone for gloom, and we all know from Season 4 that Charles despises being in the spotlight. Knowing how the story of Diana and Charles’s marriage ends, this trailer packs a powerful emotional punch and doesn’t rely on much more to make you want to see the whole film.
More than three decades after the fact, the controversies surrounding their marriage are still widely discussed; the fourth season of The Crown further stoked viewers’ interest in this terrible chapter of the Queen’s reign. Both Emma Corrin and Josh O’Connor gave heartbreaking performances in Season 4, which focused on the couple’s struggles in the early stages of their marriage. In season 5, we’ll see more of Diana’s final days before her sad death in 1997. The trailer implies that, like in previous seasons, the media’s portrayal of the Crown in Britain will play a significant role. Among the annals of television, the first four seasons of The Crown are among the very greatest.
It has done an excellent job of not only praising the Queen and the Crown but also offering viewers a critical look at their own past. Along with Debicki and West, the main ensemble cast will feature Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, and Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret in Season 5. In addition to being the first season to air since the death of Queen Elizabeth earlier this month, this season is notable for another reason. Season 5 of The Crown will premiere on Netflix on November 9. Filming has already begun.
