The Crown Season 6: Netflix Confirms Release Window With New Teaser

Netflix's new teaser for The Crown confirmed what awaits in the series sixth season and when to expect its release.

Throughout its five-season run, The Crown has proven to be one of Netflix's most popular shows, as well as one of the most controversial due to its mix of fact, fiction, and connections to a real-world family.

Not only does Season 6 stand apart in that it's The Crown's final season, but it's the first to wrap after Queen Elizabeth II's passing, it involves recent events both tragic and relevant to the royal family, and it is expected to drop amidst two industry strikes and a slew of subsequent delays.

The Crown Season 6 Receives Release Update

Netflix posted a photo of a royal wedding invitation on X (formerly known as Twitter), as well as confirmation that The Crown Season 6 arrives "later this year:"

"After six seasons, seven years and three casts, 'The Crown' comes to an end later this year. Here’s a hint at what’s to come in our final season."

While The Crown's sixth season has held a late 2023 release for some time, Netflix is expected to delay its upcoming slate due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and to accommodate for the upcoming gap in content.

The fact that Netflix just reconfirmed the show's 2023 debut is notable and suggests The Crown will be spared a reschedule.

Still, that doesn't mean the series final season won't be completely unscathed by the current state of the industry.

Due to SAG-AFTRA rules, The Crown's latest cast won't be able to promote the season while the strikes are ongoing and despite the expected interest in Season 6's content.

For instance, the new season is confirmed to cover the devastating death of Princess Diana played by Elizabeth Debicki, as well as the early relationship of Prince William, portrayed by Ed McVey, and the now Catherine, Princess of Wales, played by Meg Bellamy.

Season 6 of The Crown arrives on Netflix later this year.
