At Netflix’s Tudum event on Saturday, Imelda Staunton delivered an address to the audience, much in true Queen Elizabeth II style. Sitting at a pristine work desk with golden pens, ivory papers, English roses in the back and framed pictures of her ‘predecessors’, Imelda delivered news about the upcoming fifth season of The Crown to her subjects.
The new season, which will star Imelda as the new Queen, will premiere in November 2022. “I’m Imelda Staunton and I’m currently on the set of The Crown, where we have just begun filming season five. I’m delighted to be here, inheriting the role of Queen Elizabeth from two outstanding actresses. Most recently, the most wonderful Olivia Colman and who could forget the actress who originated the part, Claire Foy,” she said.
“I will do my utmost to maintain the very high standard that they have set. Hopefully, I’ll look calm, collected and capable. We look forward to bringing you the next season of The Crown in November, 2022,” she added.
