With The Crown’s final chapter now closed, hear from the creative team as they discuss how this love letter to Queen Elizabeth II grew from writer Peter Morgan's initial idea to the opulent Netflix series we’ve known and loved for six seasons. Uncover the significance of Churchill's portrait and the challenges of casting actors to span generations of The Royal Family, and find out how they managed the demands of creating almost 2,500 historically accurate sets over the course of the show.
