I'm a stan of 'The Crown' and Claire Foy, Olivia Colman, and Imelda Staunton returning to play Queen Elizabeth is the trifecta we want

• Claire Foy and Olivia Colman will reportedly seem within the ultimate season of “The Crown.”
• The actresses portrayed the late Queen Elizabeth in numerous intervals of her life on the hit Netflix collection.
• As a stan of “The Crown,” I’m geeked.

The hit Netflix collection “The Crown” has held my consideration because it premiered in November 2016.

The collection’ fictionalized depiction of the royal household, full with historic references and lavish costumes, is catnip for a historical past and actuality TV lover like myself.

From starting to finish, it is a nonstop rollercoaster of twists and turns which have stored me and thousands and thousands of others (together with the royal household) locked in.

So after I learn stories from The Solar and The Telegraph that each one three actresses who portrayed the late Queen Elizabeth will return to shut out the collection, I used to be ecstatic.

(Representatives for Netflix didn’t instantly reply to Insider’s request for remark.)

The trifecta we would like and want

The collection begins with Queen Elizabeth (performed by Claire Foy in seasons one and two) mourning the demise of her father, King George VI, as she struggles to realize her autonomy as a younger monarch. Olivia Colman takes over to painting the Queen in mid-life in seasons three and 4.

Imelda Staunton will reprise her season 5 function because the royal in her later years within the upcoming sixth season. The collection additionally weighs in on the non-public lives of Queen Elizabeth’s kids, most notably, Prince Charles and his marriage to Princess Diana.

In keeping with The Solar, the actresses had been tapped to hitch the ultimate season to pay tribute to the royal after her demise in September 2022. 

“Getting the actresses collectively was no imply feat as each Claire and Olivia went on to larger issues after making ‘The Crown’ and have packed schedules,” a “TV insider” instructed The Solar.

Per the Related Press, manufacturing on the present was halted after the Queen’s demise was introduced.

10s throughout the board

It is at all times been Claire Foy for me.

Perhaps it is as a result of she was the primary to play Queen Elizabeth or perhaps it is as a result of she tore the home down together with her efficiency, however Foy’s flip because the late monarch was one for the ages.

She performed the younger Queen with a tenacity and softness that garnered her a number of awards: a Golden Globe for greatest actress in a tv collection in 2017, an Emmy for lead actress in a drama collection in 2018 and 2021, and two SAG Awards in 2017 and 2018.

The prospect of seeing her reprise the function is one thing viewers like myself have yearned for since her ultimate episode. The creators of the collection gave the folks what they needed when she made a brief cameo in a flashback in season 5, episode one.

Throughout a December 2022 look on “Reside with Kelly and Ryan,” Foy stated the fan reception was “bizarre,” however she loved her expertise.

“We did that in the beginning of final yr I believe, which was like half a day. I simply kind of turned up, stated good day to the folks I knew after which went dwelling once more,” Foy stated, based on The Unbiased.

“But it surely was actually pretty to be again,” she added.

Season six of “The Crown” is slated to premiere in fall 2023, and like the remainder of the world, I will probably be watching.
