When will The Crown season 6 part 2 be released?
Unlike the five previous seasons, The Crown season 6 has been split into two parts. The first four episodes are on Netflix now with the next four episodes set to be released on Thursday, 14 December.
Is there a trailer for The Crown season 6 part 2?
A whole lifetime of service crammed into a two-minute trailer. That’s what you’ll find in our first glimpse at The Crown season 6 part two.
Tensions rise as the fate and responsibility surrounding Prince William’s future begin to sink in and the legacy of Queen Elizabeth’s decades-long reign hits home.
Teasing a mash-up of past, present and future, this trailer officially marks the beginning of the end for this hit royal drama.
What happens in The Crown season 6 part 2?
At the end of The Crown season six part one, things came to a head following the tragic death of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed in Paris and the ramifications were immediately felt by those in Buckingham Palace.
A few years will have passed when we catch up with the royals in part two, but the wounds caused by this catastrophic event remain raw. Judging by Netflix’s newly released trailer, the show’s remaining four episodes will focus primarily on Prince William as the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders starts to sink in.
Battling both fame and royal commitments along with a growing need for a personal life as a young adult, we’ll see him at St. Andrews University where he starts a relationship with a young Kate Middleton.
Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth is forced to reflect on her life of service when her sister, Princess Margaret suffers a stroke and is taken ill.
This, combined with the death of her mother, a swiftly approaching Golden Jubilee, Prince Charles’ impending marriage to Camilla and a changing political landscape puts the Queen in a situation where she’s forced to reassess what her life’s duty has achieved — and what the future might hold.
Creator Peter Morgan previously said we shouldn't expect the series to move too much further forward than season five, telling Deadline: “As we started to discuss the storylines for season five, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons.
“To be clear, season six will not bring us any closer to present-day — it will simply enable us to cover the same period in greater detail.”
