The Crown season 6: who's playing Prince William and Kate Middleton?
The current cycle of royal news has been exhaustive and exhausting. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, grief, protests and cancellations have dominated social media. There have been some strange examples of reported closures and postponements – food banks, hospital appointments, etc – but others are at least intelligible.
Filming for The Crown season 6 has been suspended following the news. The series creator Peter Morgan has publicly proclaimed that The Crown is a ‘love letter’ to the former monarch, so a pause of respect is expected. According to Deadline, Netflix have ‘long had plans in place should Queen Elizabeth die during its run'.
With season five scheduled for November, we won’t be seeing anything of season six for a while. But that doesn’t stop little announcements from spilling into the press. Recently, Deadline reported that the roles of Will and Kate in The Crown's sixth and final season have been filled. Strangely: none of them has film or television experience. Here’s what we know about the new cast members.
