The trailer opens with a montage of melancholic scenes from Lady Di’s life, and she’s shown playing the piano, looking out to sea in her iconic blue swimsuit, and being followed by paparazzi at every turn.

“Don’t really understand how I ended up here. Dashing around and losing sight of myself in the process. I think that’s been the story of my whole life,” says Elizabeth Debicki’s Diana in the opening scenes of the trailer.

The rest of the trailer shows how other members of the royal family are dealing with the media attention Diana is facing, with Queen Elizabeth (Imelda Staunton) saying, “All one wants is for that girl to find peace.”

In addition to Staunton as Queen Elizabeth and Debicki as Princess Diana, the final season of the royal drama will also star Jonathan Pryce (Prince Philip), Lesley Manville (Princess Margaret), Dominic West (Prince Charles), Salim Daw (Mohamed Al Fayed), and Khalid Abdalla (Dodi Fayed).

The Crown will return on November 16 with the first four episodes, while Season 6 – Part 2 will be available for streaming on December 14.

Netflix shared a first look photo of Staunton as the Queen, which shows her wearing a printed yellow blouse and a string of pearls. She’s expected to be joined by Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, and Dominic West as Prince Charles when the new season premieres in 2022.

Staunton is best known for her portrayal of Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter franchise and her Oscar-nominated role in Mike Leigh’s Vera Drake, and she admitted that playing the Queen won’t be an easy feat.

“I think my sort of extra challenge as if I needed it, is that I’m now doing the Queen that we’re a little more familiar with. With Claire Foy, it was almost history and now I’m playing one that people could say ‘she doesn’t do that,’ ‘she’s not like that,’ and that’s my personal bête noire,” Staunton told BBC.

It has been announced that Netflix’s series which follows the lives of the monarchy, The Crown, will end after its fifth season. 

“At the outset I had imagined The Crown running for six seasons but now that we have begun work on the stories for season five it has become clear to me that this is the perfect time and place to stop,” show creator Peter Morgan said in a statement. “I’m grateful to Netflix and Sony for supporting me in this decision.”

Olivia Colman is currently playing Queen Elizabeth II during the middle period of her life. She will continue to do so for another season before Imelda Staunton takes over. 

“As an actor, it was a joy to see how both Claire Foy and Olivia Colman brought something special and unique to Peter Morgan’s scripts,” said the Maleficent actress. “I am genuinely honored to be joining such an exceptional creative team and to be taking The Crown to its conclusion.”

Season 5 of the show does not yet have a premiere date.

The Sherlock star and Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning actress have been tapped to star in ITV’s upcoming new crime drama. 

The six-part true-story drama hails from writer Jeff Pope. The new series was unveiled Monday by ITV’s head of drama Polly Hill and will be co-produced by ITV Studios and Urban Myth Films.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, A Confession is based on the real-life event of the disappearance of a 22-year-old girl in March 2011 and will follow Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher, deliberately breached police procedure and protocol to catch a killer, a decision that ultimately cost him his career and reputation.

“I found this is a fascinating story to tell on a number of levels,” said Pope “On one hand it is a brilliant piece of detective work, but in order to find both girls Fulcher felt he had to deny Halliwell his rights as a suspect. It brings into question how we want our police to behave when someone goes missing. Should Fulcher have been praised as a courageous officer fighting for the life of a girl, or lose his career for riding roughshod over the law?”

A Confession is expected to air on ITV in 2019.
