Netflix confirmed Imelda Staunton is taking over the role for just one final season.
ReplyJanuary 31, 2020 at 7:28 am #1203321485This is brave and frankly unpredictable.
I’m optimistic though, Nina Gold always nails these castings

Very strange that Imelda is only getting one season, though… I guess with the huge production value it makes sense, but I could also see the creators ending the timeline of the show a little earlier than planned just because they might not want to get TOO involved in modern times and modern affairs so as to not possibly paint the current young royals in a bad light or offend them. It would seem in bad taste if they did do super modern and recent stuff.

ReplyCopy URLJanuary 31, 2020 at 7:46 am #1203321549I think it’s smart to end it in the early 2000s. It’s a shame we won’t get two seasons with each actress, but it’s better not to drag the story.

It will probably just be the length of Blair’s tenure as PM.

ReplyCopy URLJanuary 31, 2020 at 8:03 am #1203321680Yeah it’s too many landmines that are too recent; I’m sure Peter Morgan still wants to live lol.
The papers ran headline after headline about how “inaccurate” the recent season is and that it was disrespectful to the family (a family that Prince Andrew is a member of mind), when it has always been a fictional dramatisation of what goes on behind closed doors. I can imagine Morgan being too tired to deal with that any more.

Creatively it makes sense to end at the death of Margaret in 2002.

January 31, 2020 at 8:07 am #1203321688I’m curious if they will do the same thing with Stranger Things. 5 seasons of that show will be more than enough and they should write towards an endgame. Maybe Netflix does not want shows going on for 6+ seasons
ReplyCopy URLJanuary 31, 2020 at 8:12 am #1203321697Dream casting for the rest of the cast:
Princess Margaret – Helen Mirren
Prince Phillip – Don’t know
Princess Diana – Lily James
Camilla Parker Boles – Keeley Hawes
Prince Charles – Russell Tovey?
Tony Blair – David Tennant
Gordon Brown – Stephen Graham
Cherie Blair – Ruth WilsonReplyCopy URLFYC OSCARS : PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN IN ALL CATEGORIES (ESP. ACTRESS – Carey Mulligan AND ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY — EMERALD FENNELL), VANESSA KIRBY FOR "PIECES OF A WOMAN", ESSIE DAVIS FOR "BABYTEETH"
