Plot
There is no word about the time frame that season five will cover. Season four ended in 1990 and season six covers the early 2000s. Season four ended with Thatcher brought down from her Prime Minister Position. However the 1990s was a tough time for the royal family, so that will be enough for season five.
In 1992, the Queens’s three children undergo broken marriages and a fire that damaged Windsor Castle. This will be a part of season five. Diana’s interview will also make it into season five. The interview can never leave people’s minds. In 1996 Prince Charles divorced Princess Diana and her death in a car crash. In 1997, the Queen completed 50 years of her marriage with Prince Philip.
Release Date
Production of The Crown Season five begins in June 2021. That is all we know as of now regarding dates.
