00:00Watch out for your family.

00:02They mean well.

00:04No, they don't.

00:05Royal enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the release of the fourth season of The Crown on Netflix.

00:10But as for when exactly that is, and how long until viewers can see a new actor step into the role after Emmy nominee Olivia Colman,

00:17as well as other questions about the fate of the series, still remain unanswered.

00:21So here at The Hollywood Reporter, we're breaking down everything we do know so far about The Crown's future.

00:27When it comes to storylines, Claire Foy played the titular monarch in The Crown's first two seasons,

00:31with Doctor Who's Matt Smith starring as the Queen's husband Prince Philip,

00:35and Vanessa Kirby played her rebellious younger sister Princess Margaret.

00:38Oscar winner Olivia Colman took over as the Queen in season three,

00:42which covered the terms of Prime Minister Howard Wilson,

00:44and ended with a winter of discontent in the late 1970s.

00:48Outlander's Tobias Menzies took over as Prince Philip,

00:50and Helena Bonham Carter stepped in as Princess Margaret.

00:53The fourth season will take place during the 1980s, and includes the introduction of Princess Diana,

00:58played by newcomer Emma Corrin,

01:00and the election of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, played by Gillian Anderson.

01:03The fifth and sixth seasons will see the Royal Baton pass to Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth,

01:08who will take the crown into the 21st century.

01:10Series creator Peter Morgan said the series will enter the 2000s,

01:14with Leslie Manville playing Princess Margaret, who died in 2002.

01:18When it comes to ending the series, initially Morgan pitched a three-season story taking place over 60 years,

01:23with the new cast taking the helm each year.

01:26That eventually evolved into his much-talked-about six-season plan.

01:29Although Morgan had briefly deviated to a five-season plan,

01:32he has since reverted back to six seasons, but reiterated that the series will still end in the same place he envisioned,

01:38saying,

01:39Season six will not bring us any closer to present day.

01:42It'll simply enable us to cover the same period in greater detail.

01:46So sadly, Royal fans, that means Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship,

01:49and more of the Royal Family's most recent news-making developments,

01:53will likely not be included.

01:55As far as when the fourth season will premiere on Netflix,

01:57we don't have an exact date yet.

01:59However, the latest season, which stars Coleman, Menzies, and Bonham Carter,

02:03is expected to premiere sometime in the fourth quarter of 2020.

02:06Meanwhile, Staunton, Manville, and their yet-to-be-announced castmates,

02:10will not begin filming season five until 2021,

02:13a spokesperson for producers Left Bank Pictures told THR.

02:16So don't expect a season five release on Netflix until 2022.
