THE CROWN Season 4

Creator: Peter Morgan
Starring: Olivia Colman, Gillian Anderson, Emma Corrin, Helena Bonham Carter, Josh O’Connor, Tobias Menzies

The hit Netflix drama about The Royal Family continues to show its strength as it tackles the early 1980s in its fourth season. We see how they and the people of Great Britain were forever changed under the rule of Margaret Thatcher (Anderson), the country’s first female Prime Minister. At the same time, Queen Elizabeth (Colman) and Prince Phillip (Menzies) are focused on the line of succession at the throne. Their eldest, Prince Charles (O’Connor), is unmarried, and despite the strong feelings he has for the married Camilla Parker-Bowles, he meets the young and innocent Diana Spencer (Corrin).  Their courtship appears to be the dream fairy tale for the country but plays out differently behind the scenes. Both Diana Spencer and Margaret Thatcher enter high-profile roles and appear to be in way over their heads.
