It’s time to hit pause.
Following the loss of life 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 surely’s not simply the Royal fam who’re taking the mandatory time to grieve. It now seems like certainly one of Netflix’s greatest hits will even be taking a break amid the unhappy information.

Sources near creator Peter Morgan advised Selection on Thursday that The Crown will cease manufacturing on Season 6. For a way lengthy? That’s anybody’s guess. But it surely does appear to be confirmed.
Peter himself clarified the scenario in an e mail to Deadline after early experiences, stating:
“The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing so as to add for now, simply silence and respect. I anticipate we are going to cease 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 can 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 deal with the lead-up to Princess Diana‘s loss of life. The subsequent batch of episodes would possible discover the aftermath of her loss of life on her sons’ lives. Simply final week, it was introduced that 16-year-old Rufus Kampa and 21-year-old Ed McVey had been forged as Prince Harry and Prince William, respectively. We will’t think about they’d have to remodel 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 experiences from credible sources who claimed she watched no less than the primary season — and even “actually favored it,” although she thought the reality had been “too closely dramatized.” That’s at all times going to be fairly honest criticism from the individuals who actually lived it.
In a while numerous plot factors had been stated to be more likely to “infuriate” the Royal household, in response to a supply talking to The Solar. What’s coming would be the peak of that. Maybe stepping away from the set for a second is the proper factor to do… Ideas?
