The Crown Season 3 Trailer Is Out Now And There’s A Whole New Cast You Need To Meet

Fast forward to the 1970s - by Chelsea Tromans
  • 24 Sep 2019

Claire Foy shot onto everyone’s radar when she landed the role as a young Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, the TV series that is based on the royal family. But it’s time for her to pass on her tiara. Season 3 of The Crown is coming soon and a new successor is taking her place.

Watch the trailer below: 

Season 3 jumps ahead to the 1970s, which meant it was time for an older Elizabeth to be cast; an honour that was bestowed onto Olivia Colman and one she was both excited and nervous about. When talking about Claire to Radio Times, Olivia said, "She's fucking amazing and it's a very difficult act to follow. She's one of the sweetest people ever and she's brilliant."

The Crown - Claire Foy

And as much as Claire was loved by fans, the show’s creator Peter Morgan felt the role of a 50-year-old Queen needed someone with more life experiences. "You can't ask someone to act middle-aged. Someone has to bring their own fatigue to it. The feelings we all have as 50-year-olds are different than the feelings we all have as 30-year-olds. That informs everything we do."

The Crown Season 3

Other changings of the guards include Helena Bonham Carter, who is replacing Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret; and Tobias Menzies (from Outlander and Game of Thrones) is stepping into Matt Smith’s role of Prince Philip. 

The Crown Season 3

One of the key story lines in this season will be the introduction of Camilla Shand, who will be played by Call the Midwife's Emerald Fennell.

There are rumours that Princess Diana (who will be played by Emma Corrin) may make her debut towards the end of the season, although it’s more likely that we will have to wait until season four.

The third series will air on Netflix on the 17th of November.
