Costly drama “Crown” from Netflix, dedicated to the reign of the Queen of Great Britain Elizabeth II, will end ahead of schedule with a new actress topped.
Initially, the author of the project Peter Morgan He counted on six seasons, but at the beginning of work on the fifth he realized that he would be a good final point for the story.
In addition, the role of Elizabeth will now be played by a new actress – Imelda Stauntonfamiliar to fans Harry Potter by role Dolores Umbridge. She will take the baton from Olivia colman, which in turn followed in the footsteps Claire Foy.
The change of the cast has always been part of the original concept of the show, thanks to which we were talking about a six-year plan – 2 seasons for each cast. Therefore, in the last of them, not only the actress will be replaced by the role of the queen, but also the rest of the project participants.
Despite the fact that the creator of the series speaks of the decision to close in a positive way, two factors could also influence this. The first is that, despite a number of high ratings of the third season, many viewers found it difficult to switch between different sets of actors, which not everyone was happy with.
The second relates to Netflix’s changing policies – the company is gradually ceasing to consider long-playing series as a promising model. In addition, there is always a budget issue that is incredibly relevant in this case. Perhaps the cost of the “Crown” simply no longer corresponds to the spectator interest.
