“The Crown” Ending With Season 5 As Imelda Staunton Takes Over Role Of Queen Elizabeth

British actress Imelda Staunton will play an older Queen Elizabeth in the final season of “The Crown,” the show’s creator said. The Netflix series about the British royal family will end after five seasons rather than the six seasons originally planned. Executive producer Peter Morgan said, “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.”
