Netflix - Developing royal drama series 'The Crown'

May 23, 2014

Share on Reddit


Netflix is prepping royal drama series The Crown.

The streaming service is near a deal with Sony Pictures Television for a series from Academy Award nominees Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) and Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) inspired by the play The Audience, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The play, which bowed in 2013, centers on the weekly audiences given by Queen Elizabeth II to prime ministers that date back from her accession in 1952 to the present day. Helen Mirren starred as Queen Elizabeth II, marking her second time in the role after she won the Oscar for the part in Morgan's 2006 feature The Queen.

  1. So an American streaming service thinks it's a good idea to produce a series about the England based royal family? That's an interesting change considering House of Cards and Orange is the New Black couldn't have been more American oriented.

  2. Netflix has developed some amazing shows lately, so I'll give it a try. What I'm excited about is Orange is the New Black (season 2), Narcos, Marco Polo and the new shows from Marvel.
