The Crown’s epic Emmy-winning take on Queen Elizabeth II’s era is now nearing the end of its run, with season 6 ending its long and thrilling run.
The Crown has hammered down a feeling of reality that only grows bleaker in season 5 by brilliantly recasting several actors every two seasons.
The season picks up just where its predecessor left off, in the 1990s, covering some of Princess Diana’s most dramatic lows. Season 5 also focuses less on Imelda Staunton’s Queen Elizabeth but gets closer to her end.
The Crown Season 6 Renewal Status
The Crown Season 6 release date has yet to be revealed by Netflix; however, based on past seasons’ release dates, including season 5, we believe it will be available on Netflix in November 2023.
Season 6 is undoubtedly in the works, with filming beginning in August 2022. However, season 6 of The Crown may be delayed until December 2023 or early 2024.

The plot of the crown season 6
Unlike the prior seasons of The Crown, which cover nearly a decade, season 6 spans the late 1990s and early 2000s. This implies that the Netflix television show would focus on the circumstances leading up to Princess Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed’s car accident on August 31, 1997, in Paris.
On the other hand, the Crown actor Elizabeth Debicki has indicated that Princess Diana’s death would be represented sensitively and that the car incident itself will not be displayed on the screen.
The Crown Season 6 will instead focus on Princess Diana’s last days and the aftermath of her death. Showrunner Peter Morgan also confirmed that The Crown season 6 would not seek to expand its plot to the present day, focusing on the mid-aughts.

The Crown Season 6 will be the final season?
The Crown Season 5 was supposed to be the show’s last season. However, when the makers of The Crown discussed the complexities of the narratives they intended to cover near the conclusion of the series, they recognized that two more seasons would be needed to do justice to the depth of the tale they wanted to tell.
Consequently, the original plan was scrapped, and Netflix’s The Crown season 6 was announced as the series’ last chapter.
