Howeve, Netflix Inc’s (NFLX.O) Emmy-winning drama ‘The Crown’ paused filming of its sixth and final season following the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth.
The streaming service said production was suspended ‘as a mark or respect’ for the monarch, who died Thursday at age 96 after 70 years on the throne. Filming also will be stopped on the day of the queen’s funeral, Netflix said.
Olivia Colman took on the role in the third and fourth seasons, and Imelda Staunton will play Elizabeth in the fifth installment, which is set to debut on Netflix in November. The coming season is expected to cover events in the early and mid-1990s including the divorce of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
