‘The Crown’ Season 6 Sets November 2023 and December 2023 Release Dates

The final season of The Crown is officially being split into two parts and will arrive on Netflix later this year. Part 1 comes to Netflix in November 2023, and Part 2 will arrive a month later in December 2023. Here’s everything we know so far about the climactic end to The Crown on Netflix.

Created by Peter Morgan, The Crown has become one of the most popular Originals that Netflix has to offer. Since its very first season, The Crown has been one of the most expensive shows ever made, with each season costing over $100 million to produce. At first, there were only going to be five seasons, but as production began on the fifth season, Peter Morgan reversed his decision and a sixth season was announced.

Over four seasons, The Crown has been nominated for a total of 423 awards so far, winning 129 of them. The Crown swept the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards in 2021 by winning all seven awards in the drama categories, including the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Olivia Colman’s portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II, joining Claire Foy, who also earned a Primetime Emmy for her portrayal of the British monarch.

Which historical events will we see in The Crown season 6?

Thanks to the release of the fifth season we can now take some educated assumptions on what historical events we can expect to see in the sixth season of The Crown.

We were extremely surprised that the death of Princess Diana wasn’t covered in the fifth season, which leaves plenty of events to happen for season 6.

• The death of Princes Diana, and Dodi Fayed
• The new Millenium
• 9/11
• Prince Harry’s one day of rehab
• The death of Princess Margaret
• The death of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother
• The Iraq War

The early 2000s were some of the hardest years in Queen Elizabeth’s life, thanks to the death of her late sister, Princess Margaret, in February 2002. Only a month later, in March 2002, at the age of 101, The Queen Mother also passed away.

Prior to the death of two of her closest family members, the Royal Family was still dealing with the fallout from the death of Lady Diana. At the age of 16, Prince Harry was confronted by his father, Prince Charles, after learning that Harry had regularly been smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol. Prince Harry was sent to Featherstone Lodge, a detox center for heroin addicts in Peckham, where he would learn the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.

Events outside of the UK saw the Republican George W Bush become the 43rd President of the United States. In the first year of his presidency, the tragic events of 9/11 unfolded, eventually leading the US and its allies into the Iraq War and the War on Terror.
