The historical royal drama The Crown has been one of Netflixâs highest-profile shows, and it would be foolish to not continue mining the lore of Britainâs No. 1 crime family syndicate for more content. The upcoming season of The Crown will premiere in November 2022, and it will be the showâs second to last. But Deadline reports that the streamer is in âearly-stage conversationâ with The Crown production company Left Bank about a prequel. Itâs still the predevelopment stage, but hereâs a query: Isnât literally every movie about British royals technically a Crown prequel?
The Kingâs Speech is a Crown prequel. Elizabeth is a Crown prequel. I Wanna Marry âHarryâ ⌠well, actually thatâs more of a Crown mid-quel. Deadline speculates that the prequel series could give Queen Victoria The Crown treatment. Our opinion? Netflix should just rebrand their Diana: The Musical proshot as a Crown special event and pass on the savings to, oh, I donât know, every country the British royal family owes reparations to or something.
