Long have they reigned, indeed—The Crown is coming back for one final time with a sixth season. Longtime fans of the highly-acclaimed drama may be quick to note that the show really was intended to run for six years before its showrunner Peter Morgan decided to cut back and announce that it will all end with season five. He has, however, since changed his tune. 

“As we started to discuss the storylines for Series 5, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons,” Morgan said, explaining the decision to ultimately revert to the original plan.
