The series 5th season is due to premiere on Netflix this November, however, due to her majesty’s passing the series has immediatley halted production on season 6 in a bid to grant privacy and due thought to the passing of such a legendary monarch. Of the tapping ceasing production the show’s creator has said, “The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect,” Peter Morgan wrote in an email, according to Deadline. “I expect we will stop filming out of respect too.”
