'The Crown' Season 6 Part 2 Set for December Release
The final episodes will focus on happier times for the royal family, while the show's creator confirms no plans for a seventh season.
- The final six episodes of 'The Crown' season 6, part 2, will be released on Netflix on December 14, 2023, focusing on happier times for the royal family, including the wedding of King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, and the start of Prince William and Kate Middleton's romance.
- 'The Crown' season 6, part 1, focused on the final weeks of Princess Diana's life and the immediate aftermath of her death, including a controversial depiction of Dodi Fayed proposing to Princess Diana the night they died, which is not supported by hard evidence.
- The decision to split 'The Crown' season 6 into two parts allows the show to draw a line under the death of Princess Diana, and not be seen to be moving on from the tragic events too quickly.
- The Crown's creator, Peter Morgan, initially planned for the show to have five seasons, but extended it to six seasons to fully tell the story. The show will end in 2005, and any future installments wouldn't be a season seven, rather, they'd likely be a prequel.
- Despite rumors and depictions in 'The Crown', there is no hard evidence that Dodi Fayed proposed to Princess Diana the night they died. The investigation that followed found that driver Henri Paul had an alcohol level about 3.5 times the legal limit in France, and none of the passengers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
