Seasonfive focuses onevents between1992and the late ‘90s. The two most important events of that period – the royal divorce and the death of Lady Di –will be the main elements of the plot and – as is the casewith every project of this type – the royal family tried to meddle in the rewriting of the script, which Netflix didn’t permit. However, the production company was forced to indicate that certain events depicted in the series are partly fictional and the result of dramatic license. The upcoming sixth seasonwill be the last. It will focus on the early2000s and is set tohit screens inNovember 2023, though production has been suspended twice due to COVID and Queen Elizabeth II’s recent death.

Queen Elizabeth (Imelda Staunton) - Staunton is best known to audiences around the world for her role in the filmVera Drake, which resulted in her being nominated for a 2005 Oscar. Her long stage and screen career has already lasted 40 years. Prince Philip (Jonathan Pryce) - Pryce has long been known as one of the top British actors, though he only recently received his first Oscar nomination, for his role as Pope Francis in the film The Two Popes. Princess Margaret (Lesley Manville) - despite being highly respected in acting circles, Lesley only achieved international fame in 2017, when she was finally nominated for her first Oscar, in the category of best supporting actress, for her role in the film Phantom Thread. Prince Charles (Dominic West) - audiences certainly responded most vehemently to the casting of this character, due to the general opinion that actors who are much better looking than the character they portray are chosen for the role of Prince Charles, which is also the case in this instance. Lady Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) - Elizabeth is officially the tallest actress in Hollywood, at a whopping 1.9metres (6’3”), which automatically made her the tallest actress in the entire cast. Due to the marked difference in height, her scenes with Dominic West saw the two filmed from different angles. Ko je ko u novoj sezoni? Kraljica Elizabeta (Imelda Stonton) – Stontonova je svetskoj publici poznata po ulozi u filmu VeraDrejk, za koju je 2005. nominovana za Oskara. Ima karijeru od čak 40godina u pozorištu i na televiziji. Princ Filip (Džonatan Prajs) – Prajs već dugo važi za jednog od najboljih birtanskih glumaca, iako je svoju prvu nominaciju zaOskara dobio tek nedavno za ulogu pape Fransisa u ostvarenju Dvojica papa. PrincezaMargaret (Lesli Menvil) – Lesli je, iako vrlo poštovana u glumačkimkrugovima, međunarodnu slavu doživela tek 2017, kada je za film Fantomska nit najzad prvi put u karijeri nominovana zaOskara za najbolju sporednu žensku ulogu. PrincČarls (Dominik Vest) – Publika je definitivno najburnije reagovala na kasting ovog lika, jer je sveukupnomišljenje da se za ulogu princaČarlsa biraju glumci koji mnogo bolje izgledaju od lika koji tumače, što je i ovde slučaj. Ledi Dajana (Elizabet Debiki) – Elizabet je zvanično najviša glumica u Holivudu, sa čak 190 centimetara, što ju je automatski učinilo najvišomglumicomu celokupnoj postavi. Zbog razlike u visini, Dominik Vest i ona su snimani iz različitih uglova. Foto: Profimedia.rs / Alfonso Vega / Backgrid UK
