It’s time to hit pause.
Following the demise of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, many preparations are underway to correctly grieve Her Majesty’s passing. The UK is about to spend the ten days mourning whereas her funeral preparations are made. Prince Charles will ascend the throne formally, with a coronation ceremony to happen within the coming months (although preparation for the lavish celebration can take a very long time).
But it’s not simply the Royal fam who’re taking the mandatory time to grieve. It now feels like certainly one of Netflix’s largest hits may even be taking a break amid the unhappy information.

Sources near creator Peter Morgan advised Variety on Thursday that The Crown will cease manufacturing on Season 6. For how lengthy? That’s anybody’s guess. But it does appear to be confirmed.
Peter himself clarified the state of affairs in an e-mail to Deadline after early studies, stating:
“The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too.”
Netflix has but to make a press release.
This replace comes simply forward of the already accomplished Season 5, which is able to drop on the streamer in November (except the discharge date will get modified as properly). Few particulars have been introduced, however many suspect the season will give attention to the lead-up to Princess Diana‘s death. The next batch of episodes would likely explore the aftermath of her death on her sons’ lives. Just final week, it was introduced that 16-year-old Rufus Kampa and 21-year-old Ed McVey have been forged as Prince Harry and Prince William, respectively. We can’t think about they’d have to transform any scripts as they’re nowhere shut within the timeline to the occasions of this week.
The Queen by no means spoke publicly about The Crown, however there have been studies from credible sources who claimed she watched at the very least the primary season — and even “really liked it,” although she thought the reality had been “too heavily dramatized.” That’s at all times going to be fairly honest criticism from the individuals who actually lived it.
Later on numerous plot factors have been stated to be prone to “infuriate” the Royal household, based on a supply chatting with The Sun. What’s coming often is the peak of that. Perhaps stepping away from the set for a second is the correct factor to do… Thoughts?
