I don’t give out many TVT “Hot Tips” but having seen the first episode…. The Crown will be the next big thing on Netflix. Launches November 4th.
Review to come….
The Crown reunites acclaimed writer Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) with director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) and producer Andy Harries (The Queen). Based on the award-winning play, The Audience, The Crown tells the inside story of Queen Elizabeth II’s early reign, revealing the personal intrigues, romances, and political rivalries behind the great events that shaped the second half of the 20th Century.
The Crown stars Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II, Matt Smith as Prince Phillip, John Lithgow as Sir Winston Churchill, Victoria Hamilton as the Queen Mother, Jared Harris as King George VI, Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret and Dame Eileen Atkins as Queen Mary, among others.
Series Description: A Netflix original series, The Crown focuses on Queen Elizabeth II as a 25-year-old newlywed faced with the daunting prospect of leading the world’s most famous monarchy while forging a relationship with legendary Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill. The British Empire is in decline, the political world is in disarray, and a young woman takes the throne….a new era is dawning. Peter Morgan’s masterfully researched scripts reveal the Queen’s private journey behind the public facade with daring frankness. Prepare to be welcomed into the coveted world of power and privilege and behind locked doors in Westminster and Buckingham Palace….the leaders of an empire await.

I believe The Crown is going to be the most expensive show produced for TV, Netflix must be raking the money in.
That cast list is incredible. Can’t wait.
This is the first Hot Tip I have given this year.
Does anyone know if Netflix is going to show all episodes of The Crown on November 4th, or dole them out at the rate of one episode a week?
I’m also looking forward to the new Gilmore Girls episodes in November on Netflix.
All 10 on Nov 4.
Excellent! Thanks, David.
Both my mother and daughter, as well as myself, are looking forward to this. Luckily my daughter has netflix, so we’ll be having a few get-togethers to watch!

Can’t wait. Looks great!
