During the global fan event Tudum, Netflix dropped the teaser of the much anticipated season five of 'The Crown'. The new instalment of the Emmy-winning historical drama about the British royal family will premiere on November 9.  

The short teaser released at the event focuses on the troubled life of Princess Diana and Charles, who are heading up for a divorce. Season five comes two years after season 4 landed on the streaming platform in 2020. 

The trailer starts with showing Diana nervously twitching her engagement ring, the next frame shows Prince Charles getting ready, and seems like they are preparing for an interview.

Emma and Josh played the role of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, respectively in season 4. 

Season 5 will feature Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, and Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker Bowles, Jonny Lee Miller as Prime Minister John Major.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth, 'The Crown' creator paused the filming out of respect, “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," he said.
