T8 WHATS UP! November 6 - 12, 2022 BY RAYE SMITH TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON NETFLIX "The Crown" - Season 5 The monarchy moves into a new decade with Season 5 of Netflix's hit series "The Crown," pre- miering Wednesday, Nov. 9. Fol- lowing the life of Queen Eliza- beth II — who died in Septem- ber of this year and who holds the title of longest-reigning monarch in British history — "The Crown" looks at the world events, family drama and per- sonal affairs of the Royal Family throughout her reign. As the new season moves the Royal Family into the 1990s and Queen Elizabeth, now played by Imelda Staunton ("Vera Drake," 2004), approaches the 40th anniversa- ry of her accession, they face an enormous new challenge as the British public begins to openly question their role. Meanwhile, the world faces the collapse of the Soviet Union, Prince Charles (Dominic West, "The Wire") and Princess Diana's (Elizabeth Debicki, "Tenet," 2020) marriage unravels and Egyptian business- man Mohamed Al Fayed (Salim Daw, "Fauda") hunts for a seat at the royal table. Created by Peter Morgan, the series' newest sea- son also stars Jonathan Pryce ("The Two Popes," 2019) as Prince Philip, Duke of Edin- burgh; Lesley Manville ("Phan- tom Thread," 2017) as Princess Margaret; new talent Senan West as Prince William; Jonny Lee Miller ("Elementary") as John Major; and Claudia Harri- son ("Humans") as Princess Anne.
