It's been just under a year since the third season of Netflix's hit royal biopic "The Crown" (open in new tab) was released, and new information about Season 4 continues to trickle in... Praise the TV spoiler gods, won't you?" Here's everything we know about " Here's everything we know so far about "The Crown" Season 4, from its release date to what you'll be seeing and who will be playing Lady D, the People's Princess. The Monarchy. Above all. Gillian A. and Emma Colin will join Olivia Colman in Season 4 of The Crown, which will be available on November 15," Netflix wrote in an announcement. In addition to the release date, the tweet also included the first teaser for the new season, which shows Princess Diana in her wedding dress (...) Check it out below:

Yes, Netflix has finally released a trailer featuring Anderson, Colman, and Colin in all their glory, and I never knew that 2 minutes and 41 seconds of footage could give me goosebumps until now.

The character interplay between Anderson and Colman in the trailer reeks of Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Emmy accolades. From the trailer, it looks like it will be Queen vs. Thatcher vs. Diana, and while we don't like a brawl, we will gladly sit back and take it all in the name of history.

Could November 15 come any sooner? We can't. We can't wait. We can't wait; Peter Morgan, creator of The Crown, revealed in early 2018 that seasons 3 and 4 were filmed back to back." We are working back to back. We're writing it all right now," he said (opens in new tab).

"We've got Olivia, and now we're working on the casting.

We also got some behind-the-scenes photos of Diana and Charles, which look incredibly authentic, and fans are already deeply excited about the upcoming season. (Also, people were a bit confused about when Diana would appear, but now we know it is indeed season 4)

.

The tail end of Season 3 feels like a bit of a placeholder for the grand and important events of the Royal Family. However, since the groundwork for Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles' initial relationship and eventual breakup was already laid in season 3, there is no need to rush events in season 4.

Following the trend set by the first two seasons of the series, the main cast has been playing their respective characters for at least two seasons (opens in new tab), meaning that we can expect Olivia Coleman, Helena Bonham Carter (opens in new tab), and other major players can expect to see them return as their characters in Season 4. Season 4 ended with Princess Margaret and Tony Snowdon's divorce, so we may not see Ben Higgins again in the latter role.

The fourth season also adds new cast members. In particular, Emma Colin will play Dame Diana Spencer; Netflix has also confirmed that Gillian Anderson will join "The Crown" in season four as Margaret Thatcher, the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom.

"I am so excited to join the cast and crew of 'The Crown' and to have the opportunity to portray such a complex and controversial woman," Gillian said in a tweet (opens in new tab)."

"Though Thatcher was undoubtedly formidable, I enjoy exploring beneath the surface and, dare I say it, falling in love with an icon that defined an era, whether loved or despised.

As for who will play Elizabeth in seasons 5 and 6, news is already out: Imelda Staunton has announced that she will play the role. According to The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab), "I loved watching 'The Crown' from the very beginning."

"As an actor, it was a pleasure to watch Claire Foy and Olivia Colman bring something special and unique to Peter Morgan's script. I am truly honored to join such a wonderful creative team to complete The Crown. "

I wondered where I knew Imelda Staunton because she played the hated Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter. If she is chosen, it will be a very different role, although the two have a certain pun.

While we are on the subject of Seasons 5 and 6, let us not forget that the show's creators have already decided who will play Princess Margaret and Princess Diana. In the show's final two seasons, Lesley Manville of "Phantom Thread" will play Princess Margaret, replacing Helena Bonham Carter (open in new tab).

The announcement was made known to fans via Twitter in July, and I am personally thrilled. The Harlot actress said in a statement, "I couldn't be happier to be playing Princess Margaret." The baton will be passed down from two formidable actresses and I don't want to be sidetracked. In addition, it is nothing short of a pleasure to play a sibling role with my dear friend Imelda Staunton."

As for Princess Diana, Elizabeth Debicki will play the famous replacement for Emma Colin. In a statement (opens in new tab), Elizabeth Debicki, actress of "Tenet" and "The Great Gatsby," said of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, "I am thrilled to be a part of this wonderful series. It is a true privilege and honor for me to be a part of this wonderful series.

While details regarding the plot of "The Crown" Season 4 have not been definitively revealed, one can look back in history to infer some important plot points: according to Variety (opens in new tab), Season 3 will cover the years 1964-1976. Based on this time frame, Season 4 could cover the late 1970s through the early 1990s. This includes what fans are hoping to see: Prince Charles and Princess Diana (despite early reports that Princess Diana may appear at the tail end of Season 3).

Seasons 1 and 2, on the other hand, cover 17 years of Queen Elizabeth's life, from 1947 to 1964. If Season 3 and Season 4 continue this trend exactly, Season 4 would end in 1981. While Season 4 will cover a relatively short period of time, there are several significant moments for the royal family in 1981.

Not only was it the year Prince Charles and Princess Diana tied the knot (opens in new tab), but "Trooping the Colour" in 1981 was also a terrifying event for Elizabeth. At that year's celebration, someone fired six bullets (later revealed to be blanks) at Elizabeth while she was marching on horseback.

We know that the show definitely featured the royal wedding. I mean, after all, the iconic wedding dress was only briefly seen in the trailer.

"The Emanuels, who designed the original, gave me the pattern and then made it for me," Colin told British Vogue (opens in new tab). "I think it was at Lancaster House in London, and I had a team of about 10 people helping me put it on. When I walked out, everyone was completely silent."

Again: we. We can't. We can't.

It is also possible that Season 4 will feature other key moments in the lives of Prince Charles and Princess Diana as cut-off points, with the birth of Prince William and the tragic and untimely death of Princess Diana in 1997 likely to be highlighted.

The creative team of "The Crown" has publicly stated (open in new tab) that the show will last six seasons. This means that no matter where season 4 ends, seasons 5 and 6 (and the actors cast for them) will cover the remainder of Elizabeth's reign to the present day. In other words, the 1990s and 2000s could be covered in these seasons.

We will update as more details become available.
