“The Crown” Season 6 will also debut a new iteration of Queen Elizabeth II. The outlet reports that Viola Prettejohn has been tapped to play a young, pre-coronation wartime version of Princess Elizabeth. With Prettejohn in tow as a young Elizabeth, “The Crown” will wrap up its six seasons by showing four different depictions of the Queen.
The decision to have all previous iterations of the Queen appear for the final season manifested after Elizabeth II second passed. Production on Season 6 paused after the monarch died. Following her passing, series creator Peter Morgan described his award-winning series as a “love letter to her” in a statement obtained by Deadline.
Fans of the series must be delighted to hear that all three versions of The Queen, including a brand-new one, will grace the upcoming season. While Season 6 is set to be the last chapter in Queen Elizabeth II’s story, it’s possible that Morgan and Netflix’s love affair with royalty will continue. The outlet revealed in another report that future plans could include prequel projects set before “The Crown.” With the inclusion of Prettejohn’s pre-coronation Elizabeth, it’s possible that the stage is being set for a series based on her childhood.
