Teaser Trailer For THE CROWN Season 3 - "An Elegant Reflection of Her Majesties Transition From Young Woman To... Old Bat"
Netflix has released a new teaser trailer for The Crown Season 3 as it features Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II being presented with a new profile photo of her that represents a reflection of the Queens transition from a young woman to… in her own words… “old bat.”
The role of the Queen was previously played by Claire Foy and as you’ll see in this trialer Colman is going to do a wonderful job stepping into the older version of The Queen. The voice, the facial expressions, everything matches up with how Foy portrayed her.
I enjoyed the first two seasons of the series and I’m looking forward to this next chapter of the story. The show chronicles the entire life of Queen Elizabeth II, up to the present day. This next season will take place 20 years into Elizabeth’s reign. It’s explained, “The idea is to do this over six decades in six seasons presumably, and make the whole show [run] over eight to 10 years."
The Crown Season 3 will cover “the Wilson era.” It spans the years 1964-77, “during the Swinging ’60s and through the ’70s, up to the cusp of Margaret Thatcher’s election as prime minister in 1979.”
All of the characters in the series have been recast as the characters have aged. The new cast members include The Terror’s Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip, previously played by Matt Smith; Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret previously played by Vanessa Kirby, and Ben Daniels will play Antony Armstrong-Jones, aka Lord Snowdon, who was originally played by Matthew Goode. They are joined by Jillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher Josh O’Connor as Prince Charles, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne, Marion Bailey as the Queen Mother, and Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson.
The Series premieres on November 17th.
