Creator Peter Morgan originally planned six seasons but says: "Now that we have begun work on the stories for S5 it has become clear to me that this is the perfect time and place to stop."
Speaking about playing the monarch, Imelda Staunton said: “I have loved watching The Crown from the very start. As an actor, it was a joy to see how both Claire Foy and Olivia Colman brought something special and unique to Peter Morgan’s scripts.
“I am genuinely honoured to be joining such an exceptional creative team and to be taking The Crown to its conclusion.”
There's no doubt that fans of The Crown will be said to hear the end is near. The news comes after it was revealed that an astonishing 21 million people tuned into the third season of the drama based on the British Royal Family.
We’re gutted to hear about the end of such an incredible show.
