About The Crown
The Crown ran six seasons on Netflix from 2016 to 2023 as a decade-by-decade reign from Elizabeth's wedding to the 2000s. Each two-season block recasts the royals, with Foy, Colman and Staunton each carrying the Queen through abdication fallout, Thatcher and Diana.
The show closes before the present day by design, ending with William and Kate's early story rather than recent events. No seventh season or spin-off has been ordered, so the sixty episodes are the complete run with the cast handovers as its signature device.
Good to know
Watch seasons 1 through 6 in broadcast order, since the recasts land as intentional time jumps rather than disruptions. Story order matches release order throughout, so one list covers the reign. The show invents private scenes freely, so treat it as prestige drama inspired by history rather than a documentary record of the palace.
