First Look: Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth in The Crown

Netflix

Netflix spilled the tea. The streaming platform dropped the first image of Olivia Colman in her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown. While the exclusive image does not feature any other cast members, it portrays Colman donned in pink and pearls as she raises a glass of high tea.

The much-anticipated third season is currently in production, where Colman will take over the role from Claire Foy. Foy previously portrayed the young Queen Elizabeth. The new season will premiere next year, picking up where the second season ended. While Josh O’Connor is rumored to play young Prince Charles, Netflix has not released any official confirmation.

The Crown recently received 13 Emmy nominations, including a nod for Best Drama.
