The show follows the life of the late Queen from the first season, which covered her ascension to the throne at a young age and her subsequent marriage to Prince Phillip, to the sixth and final season, which will cover her reign into the 21st century.
According to PEOPLE, fans of the historical series may not have to wait too long for its final season as the show that now depicts the life of the late Princess Diana before her tragic death has resumed filming.
The cast and crew are currently filming in Barcelona, Spain, as evidenced by a photo captured by the magazine, which shows Elizabeth Debicki, the actress recreating Diana’s late 1997 trip to Bosnia.

The updated production details on the series come after the show’s creator, Peter Morgan, previously clarified their production plans, as reported by The Blast. “The crown is a love letter to [the Queen], and I have nothing to add, for now, just be quiet and respectful. I expect we will stop filming out of respect as well,” he said in a statement to Deadline.

It also seems that the hit show may have been planning for a long time about what to do if the Queen died while it was running. Director Stephen Daldry revealed that while they can’t say when it will happen, it’s only fitting to pay due respect to the late King.
“He’s a global figure, and that’s what we should do,” he added. Stephen also stated that people would feel disrespected if she was not respected because she is an exemplary woman. While “The Crown” paid tribute by halting production, actress Helen Mirren who played the late Queen in “The Queen,” – also created by Morgan, took to her Instagram page to pay her respects.

Mirren wrote alongside a post featuring the late Matriarch in a portrait from her younger years that she was proud to be Elizabethan. He later added, “We mourn a woman who, with or without a crown, was the epitome of nobility.”

The series recorded 17.6 million hours of streaming by subscribers, according to Netflix, making it one step ahead of the most-watched British show on the platform “Stranger Things” in seventh place.
