“As we started to discuss the storylines for Series 5, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons. To be clear, Series 6 will not bring us any closer to present-day — it will simply enable us to cover the same period in greater detail,” Morgan said.

Seasons 5 and 6 will also star Imelda Staunton as the new Queen Elizabeth II, with Leslie Manville set to play Princess Margaret and Jonathan Pryce portraying Prince Philip.
