Imelda Staunton is Queen Elizabeth in The Crown season 5

It is finally confirmed that Imelda Staunton succeed Olivia Colman to play Queen Elizabeth in The Crown season 5

After many reports that Imelda Staunton (A Confession) will succeed Olivia Colman in The Crown for seasons five and six, which were initially denied by Netflix, it has now been confirmed that Staunton is our next Queen.


We can't wait to see her play the later-life Queen Elizabeth II. Given her role as the tyrannical Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter, we can already imagine her costume...



Seasons five and six will be the last of the series; so Staunton will be the conclusive Queen. Before Colman, Claire Foy was cast to Emmy-winning acclaim as the young Elizabeth. No word yet on who else might be joining the cast for the final two seasons, and we probably won’t hear anything until next year.


In season four, Gillian Anderson plays Margaret Thatcher and Emma Corrin will take on Lady Diana Spencer, Prince Charles’s first wife.
