And right on schedule, it’s midlife-crisis time for Queen Elizabeth. In the official trailer for The Crown’s third season, our dear sovereign (Olivia Colman, who took over the royal reins from Claire Foy) is reassessing her life thanks to her impending silver-jubilee celebration, which is being made increasingly difficult what with Britain “falling apart†all around her. More specifically: The country is bankrupt, national security is in tatters, Prince Philip (Tobias Menzies) is being a moody daddy, and Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor) is going through puberty.

Helena Bonham Carter, Ben Daniels, and Emerald Fennell also star.
