Netflix said on Saturday that Queen Elizabeth will take a year off and return to “The Crown” in November 2022. The pronouncement was made as part of Netflix's Tudum jubilee, a worldwide celebration of the streaming service's vast library of film and television titles.

“The Crown” will return with an all-new cast portraying the British royal family, including Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, Dominic West as Prince Charles, Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, and Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker Bowles, after sweeping the Emmy awards in its fourth season. Prime Minister John Major will also be played by Jonny Lee Miller.

This will be “The Crown's” third and final cast cycle, which premiered in 2016 with Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth at the start of her reign for two seasons. Following Season 2, the program took a year vacation before returning in 2019 with Olivia Colman as the Queen leading the cast for Seasons 3 and 4.

Staunton, who lauded Foy and Colman's Emmy-winning performances in the part she's now inherited, confirmed the debut date from the set of "The Crown." Staunton was seated at the Queen's desk when she offered her brief, witty remarks, but she was not dressed in character.

“I will do all in my power to uphold the very high standard that they have set,” she stated. “I'm hoping to project a calm, cool, and capable demeanor. Meanwhile, my tummy is performing somersaults.”

Staunton was scheduled to play Elizabeth for a single, final season, but the show's creator and executive producer, Peter Morgan, decided to extend Staunton's contract through Season 6, which Morgan has stated will be the show's final season. Season 5 is intended to follow the breakdown of Charles and Diana's marriage, which legally ended in 1996, although it's unknown whether it will also cover the events leading up to Diana's sad death in a car accident in 1997. Morgan was the scriptwriter for the 2006 film "The Queen," which won Helen Mirren an Academy Award for her performance as Queen Elizabeth.
