The Crown Creator's Future Plans

The acclaimed Netflix series *The Crown* has concluded after six successful seasons, but creator Peter Morgan has indicated that his exploration of the British royal family may not be over. The series, which depicted Queen Elizabeth II's reign from her coronation in 1953 to the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, featured performances by Claire Foy, Olivia Colman, and Imelda Staunton as the monarch across its run. In a recent interview with *The Hollywood Reporter*, Morgan expressed that while he is not ready to delve into the more recent scandals surrounding the royal family, he remains intrigued by the subject. He stated, “For the time being, I cannot imagine any circumstances in which I’d want to go further into the present,” suggesting that he may approach the royal narrative from a historical perspective that resonates with contemporary issues. Morgan emphasized the potential of telling past stories that reflect on the present, describing it as a more elegant narrative strategy. He believes that revisiting historical events could provide insights relevant to today’s audience, rather than continuing the timeline from where *The Crown* left off. Previously, Morgan has drawn inspiration from the Windsors in his work, including the Oscar-nominated film *The Queen* and the play *The Audience*. He has hinted at the possibility of a prequel series, although he noted that it would require specific circumstances to materialize.
