First look on Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II in the new season of The Crown

Picking up in the previous season's Christmas gathering, we are likely to enter the Royal Family's turbulent times in the fifth season of The Crown with a new queen, Imelda Staunton. Here's her first look taking the role of Queen Elizabeth II from Olivia Colman.

In the final seasons, Imelda Staunton will be joined by Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes, GI Joe) and Elizabeth Debicki as Prince Philip and Princess Diana, respectively. Lesley Manville will take over the role of Princess Margaret from Helena Bonham-Carter, and we'll meet new Prime Minister, Jonny Lee Miller as Sir John Major. Dominic West is cast as Prince Charles, and Olivia Williams will play Camilla Parker-Bowles. 

We have no definite date of release yet for Season 5 of The Crown but I am definitely excited for this season and the cast.
