Based on an award-winning play ("The Audience") by showrunner Peter Morgan, this lavish, Netflix-original drama chronicles the life of Queen Elizabeth II from the 1940s to modern times. The series begins with an inside look at the early reign of the queen, who ascended the throne at age 25 after the death of her father, King George VI. As the decades pass, personal intrigues, romances, and political rivalries are revealed that played a big role in events that shaped the later years of the 20th century.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Elizabeth Debicki's haunting portrayal does right by the Princess of Wales, but The Crown's final season often feels like a reign extended past its prime.

Verne Gay Newsday I, for one, will miss this treasure — even this, at times, dutifully dull wrap — and already do. Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Weird depictions of Diana tarnish the final episodes of The Crown... Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 16, 2023 Full Review Lili Loofbourow Washington Post The Crown is a flawed but fascinating experiment in historical television that I value for (among other things) the joyful, even reckless, inconsistency of its characterizations. Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Ed Power Irish Times ...Peter Morgan’s epic valentine to Britain’s longest-serving monarch has now come to a thudding close with six concluding episodes that have all the panache of an old Spitting Image sketch. Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk The last ever episodes linger on the late Queen's fascinating combination of steadfastness and flexibility, harking back to the reason we fell in love with The Crown in the first place. Rated: 4/5 Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Jeff Beck The Blu Spot The season balances out to become a pretty good final outing. It may start off rather weak, but it comes back remarkably strong, hitting its stride and once again giving the viewer a remarkable front seat to the important events of the royal family. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Matheus F Diana impeccably played by Elizabeth Debicki. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Julian P Sure it's got its flaws but this is basically a very good continuation of the previous series and the critics have got it wrong in my opinion. Brilliant casting, well acted and well written. The interaction between William and Harry is superb, Diana is flawless and Dominic West, Imelda Staunton are just perfect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review s c Season 6 was very disappointing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Edoardo C It had a good ending but it was too rushed to get a closure Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Abed D I need a lot of time to leave the state of frenzy that this season inserted me into..what a marvel to the eyes and ears.. how could we not wait another grandiose performance by these greats and articulate and ironclad lines and sentences writtten by the series writers..thanks for the overwhelming experience you guys created a longlasting masterpiece Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Arbor B While season 5 focused too much on Princess Diana, season 6 set the focus back to the monarchy and the system. As with the other seasons, the actors played their roles are exceptional well. The first two or three episodes a bit long-winded. However, the last two episodes are very interesting. This series has one of the best endings I've ever seen so far. And that proves the care they used to develop the story and series. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
