Netflix debuted the first look of the new royals in The Crown season five yesterday. The official handle of the series unveiled the first images of the new Princess Diana played by Elizabeth Debicki and Prince Charles played by Dominic West. The duo are taking over from Emma Corrin and Josh O’Connor who held the younger versions of the royal in season four of the show.
Debicki previously said in a statement, “Princess Diana’s spirit, her words and her actions live in the hearts of so many. It is my true privilege and honor to be joining this masterful series, which has had me absolutely hooked from episode one.”

The Crown was previously expected to wrap at the end of season five but the streaming giant confirmed that the show will extend to at least another season. Creator Peter Morgan said in a statement, “As we started to discuss the storylines for series five, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons. To be clear, series six will not bring us any closer to present-day — it will simply enable us to cover the same period in greater detail.”
