In July, the series creator Peter Morgan announced via Twitter that the Netflix show would be renewed for a 6th season in order to flush out more details during the Princess of Wales’ time.
“Charles and Diana’s marriage, it was three Brexits and three COVIDs wrapped into one, wasn’t it?” the series creator Peter Morgan told Esquire earlier this month.

The marriage between Diana and Charles is a crucial moment in recent British history, he said.
“Everybody is defined in some shape or form in terms of their reaction to the events that [the royal family] inflicted upon us," Morgan said. "And at the heart of all that was this marriage. I think what’s so sad about it is they were such a dream team. It could have been so fantastic.”
