‘The Crown’ Season 6 to Premiere This Fall on Netflix

“The Crown” Season 6 has been slated for a fall 2023 release, Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria announced at Netflix’s virtual Upfront presentation Wednesday.

The sixth installment of the historical drama will turn its attention to the royal love story between Prince William (Ed McVey) and Kate Middleton (Meg Bellamy), chronicling the pair’s fateful meeting on St. Andrew’s campus and the subsequent romance that followed.

As “The Crown” closes out its sweeping timeline of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, Season 6 is set in the 2000s as William begins his time at University determined to have a normal life when he meets Kate, who hails from Berkshire. Scenes from the upcoming season of the drama series remained true to real life with production filming at St. Andrews.
