John Major as Prime Minister as well as the election of Tony Blair as Prime Minister in 1997 were key moments. This time period saw significant international tensions and even the fall of one of Britain’s greatest allies.

However, the divorce of the Prince and Princess of Wales and its intense public scrutiny became a key focus in this season. 

The Crown Sixth Season

The Crown Sixth Season will be the final season of the series and is currently in production.

The Death of Queen Elizabeth II

On September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II passed away. At this time the production of season 5 was halted at the request of creator Peter Morgan. Morgan stated “The Crown” is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too” (via Deadline). 

Filming was temporarily suspended after her death and on the day of her funeral as well. 

However, despite the death of the queen, season 5 was eventually released in November. This season has received significant criticism from the real-life versions of its characters, namely former prime ministers.

The Best Historical TV Series Has Many Awards and Accolades (Of Course)

The Crown has received a massive amount of critical praise. The praise has been directed toward writing, directing, acting, producing, and cinematography.

At the time of this writing, The Crown has been nominated for 423 various awards, with an outstanding 129 wins. This includes over 20 Primetime Emmy awards. The awards won have varied between all aspects of the creation of the series. So none the less, it’s easy to see why it’s still one of the best historical tv series of all time.
