‘The Crown’ final season trailer: Elizabeth Debicki stars as Princess Diana in moving teaser for Netflix drama [Watch]
It’s a mad world for Princess Diana as the final season of Netflix’s award-winning juggernaut “The Crown” begins.
On Thursday, the streaming service debuted the new trailer for the sixth and final season of the Emmy-winning series, with a major focus on the people’s princess, played by Emmy nominee Elizabeth Debicki.
“I was really looking forward to Season 6, because there was a chunk of the story where I was not going to be as alone,” Debicki told Netflix’s own editorial site Tudum in an interview published earlier this year. “For me, in terms of an overarching journey, one of the things that felt so important –– because we know where the story is going –– is to make sure that there was real joy and happiness and lightness and genuine fun on the screen.”
“The Crown” Season 6 is split into two parts, with the first debuting on November 16 and the second batch of episodes set for December 14. Those initial four episodes will center on the story of Princess Diana and her untimely death.
Here’s Netflix on what to expect:
“These first four episodes depict a relationship blossoming between Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed before a fateful car journey has devastating consequences.
In their first Summer as a divorced couple, Prince Charles and Princess Diana share very different holidays with their sons. Diana is being courted by the Fayeds in the South of France, giving the young Princes a taste of luxury yachts, video games and movie nights. Charles is sticking to tradition in Balmoral. The comparisons play out in the press, fuelled by a fervent paparazzi, and some of the Royal press team.
As yacht life and the constant media scrutiny loses its appeal, Diana longs to return to see her boys, who are back in Balmoral. A diversion to Paris sees matters come to a head – against the backdrop of an intensified and aggressive media pursuit.
After the news breaks of Diana and Dodi’s fatal car accident, a vast outpouring of public grief catches the Queen off-guard. With shockwaves resonating through the Palace, Al Fayed is also processing the loss of his cherished son. Hoping that the news will bring him and the Royal Family together in shared grief; he instead finds himself increasingly shunned.”
“The Crown” has been an awards blockbuster for Netflix, winning 21 Emmys – including Best Drama Series – across 69 total nominations. The show’s fifth season was nominated for six Emmy Awards – although whether it wins any 2023 trophies won’t be known until early 2024 due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes forcing the ceremony into the new year. That means “The Crown” Season 5 will learn of its awards fate after Season 6 has been completed. The show’s final episodes are eligible for Emmy Awards consideration at the 2024 Emmys ceremony, which presumably will take place in September of next year.
In addition to Debicki, “The Crown” stars Dominic West as Prince Charles and Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II.
