With a day away from Season 3’s premiere, The Crown star Olivia Colman says Season 4 newcomer Gilliam Anderson is “amazing.”
The X-Files and Sex Education star will play the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in season 4 of Netflix’s royal drama. The soon premiering Season 3 chronicles the British royal family from the mid-’60s to the mid-’70s with Season 4 covering the decade thereafter.
“She’s amazing,” says Colman who took over the role of Queen Elizabeth II from Claire Foy. “The moment she opened her mouth in the read-through, you could feel everyone wanting to do a little silent ‘Yay!’ Because she was so brilliant.”
Season 3 of The Crown also stars Helena Bonham Carter, Tobias Menzies, Ben Daniels, and Charles Dance.
