The historical series revolves around the life of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II - the fifth season, like season three, started with completely new actors.

The main role of the monarch has been taken over by Imelda Staunton, following in the footsteps of Claire Foy as the young Queen, and Olivia Colman as a middle-aged Queen.

Season 5 is set in the 1990s and centers on the crumbling marriage between Diana and then heir to the throne – now King Charles III. It has sparked a wave of renewed chatter and both in-person and internet backlash directed at the royal family.

It also features Princess Di's most iconic fashions and crowned jewel replicas on display.

The show's writers have confirmed there is a sixth – and final – season on the way.
