The Crown is a historical drama series about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, created and principally written by Peter Morgan and produced by Left Bank Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for Netflix. Morgan developed it from his film The Queen (2006) and his stage play The Audience (2013). Its six seasons and 60 episodes span almost six decades, from shortly before the 1947 wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten to the 2005 wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. The principal cast changed every two seasons: Elizabeth was played by Claire Foy in the first and second seasons, Olivia Colman in the third and fourth, and Imelda Staunton in the fifth and sixth, while Matt Smith, Tobias Menzies and Jonathan Pryce in turn played Prince Philip. Filming took place at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, and on location in the UK and abroad. Netflix released the first season on 4 November 2016; the sixth came out in two parts, on 16 November and 14 December 2023. Critics praised the acting, directing, writing, cinematography and production values, though its historical inaccuracies drew criticism, particularly later in the run. Its awards include a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series and two Golden Globes for Best Television Series – Drama.
