THE CROWN - SEASON 6: CATCHING UP WITH THE TALENTED BEHIND THE SCENES TEAM
/The Crown is wrapping up with Season 6 - the first half deals with the untimely death of Princess Diana.
The final season of “The Crown” returns with many familiar faces and some new cast members. Netflix’s royal family drama series will culminate with its sixth season in a two-part series finale beginning on November 16, with part two coming on December 14.
Imelda Staunton makes an encore performance as Queen Elizabeth II after starring as the monarch in Season 5. Dominic West returns as then-Prince Charles (who, in real life, was crowned King Charles III after the death of Queen Elizabeth last year), and Lesley Manville is back as Princess Margaret.
Returning to portray the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, is Jonathan Pryce. Pryce was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance of Prince Philip in Season 5 of “The Crown.
The first part of Season 6 focuses on Diana played by Elizabeth Debicki in her final years before her tragic death in 1997. Debicki starred as the “People’s Princess” in Season 5, a performance for which she earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.
Khalid Abdalla will reprise his role as Dodi Fayed, the son of Egyptian businessman Mohammed Al-Fayed who enters into a highly publicized, and ultimately fatal, relationship with divorcee Princess Diana. Fayed tragically lost his life in the 1997 car accident in Paris alongside Diana, a part of history that Season 6 will explore.
