As the curtains slowly draw to a close on Netflix's critically acclaimed series The Crown, fans of the British Royal Family have been left pondering what's next. The compelling historical drama, which has meticulously chronicled the lives and trials as well as the tribulations of the Windsor family, is set to conclude with a bang, spanning six decades of history. However, the creative figures behind this masterpiece are not quite ready to bid adieu.
In a recent chat with Variety, Peter Morgan, the mastermind behind the series, acknowledged the challenge of creating such a cinematic masterpiece. Though he believes that The Crown has set a high bar for television, he sees it as a dying breed of cinematic storytelling. These shows are unicorns. I think we should cherish the memory of them, because this is a rare and dying thing. Despite the impending conclusion of The Crown, Morgan teased the possibility of delving back into royal history, albeit under specific circumstances and perhaps, in a different time period. "I do have an idea. But first, I need to do some other things. Second, it would need a unique set of circumstances to come together."
"If I were to go back into 'The Crown,' it would definitely be to go back in time." Ted Sarandos, a stalwart supporter of Morgan's vision, expressed unwavering faith in Morgan's storytelling abilities, stating, "If he believes there are stories to be told there, we definitely would explore it."
