Big news for ‘The Crown’ fans—Netflix is diving into the past with a prequel! This new series will take us through the British royal family’s history, starting from Queen Victoria’s death in 1901 right up to the iconic wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten. If you’re a fan of the original series, this prequel is set to add rich backstory and depth to the characters and events that shaped the monarchy before Elizabeth’s reign.
The streaming giant has reportedly signed a hefty £500 million ($681 million) deal with Left Bank Pictures, the production company behind the original hit series. With ‘The Crown’ creator Peter Morgan on board, fans can expect the same captivating storytelling that made the original series a critical and audience favorite.
