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.
