Let's face it, if you're anything like me, you've been counting down the days until the next season of Netflix's sumptuous royal drama, The Crown. Well, here's the news you've been waiting for: the streaming giant has just dropped a trailer for Season 2, which premieres on Friday, December 8. This season promises to be a rollercoaster of political intrigue, passionate drama, and the kind of behind-the-scenes royal life we can't get enough of. It's all set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, making it a must-watch.
Now, if you're a fan of history, drama, or just plain old-fashioned human drama, this is the show for you. Season 2 picks up Queen Elizabeth's reign 10 years in, taking us deep into the latter half of the 1960s. As Peter Morgan, the show's creator, hinted earlier, we're going to be seeing a lot more of Matt Smith's Prince Philip. This season is all about exploring the complexities of his character and the tensions in his marriage to Elizabeth, which were teased in the first season. And let's just say, things are about to get real. Take a peek at the trailer below!
Prince Philip: The Man Behind the Throne
Season 2 of The Crown will take us on a journey from 1957 to roughly 1964. During a previous interview, Peter Morgan, the mastermind behind the show, opened up about why Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, is such a central figure in this season. Morgan described Philip as an "extraordinarily interesting" character, with a backstory that's almost too wild to believe. "His childhood, again, you couldn't make it up," Morgan said at the Royal Television Society's event The Crown: Deconstructing the Coronation in March. "The soul of season two is about his complexity," he added. So, buckle up, because we're about to dive deep into the life and mind of one of the most fascinating figures in modern royal history.

Princess Margaret Finds Love Again
Season 1 wasn't exactly kind to Princess Margaret, played by the incredibly talented Vanessa Kirby. Forced to give up her romance with the recently divorced Captain Peter Townsend due to royal protocol, Margaret's story was one of heartbreak and sacrifice. But in Season 2, things are looking up for the feisty princess. She's set to meet a new love interest, society photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, better known as Lord Snowden. It's a match that promises to be both passionate and tumultuous. We can't wait to see how this unfolds as we dive into the second season tonight!
Season 2 will once again feature Claire Foy as the ever-dignified Queen Elizabeth, Victoria Hamilton as the steadfast Queen Mother, and Jeremy Northam as the enigmatic Antony Eden. New to the cast are some familiar faces: Matthew Goode from Downton Abbey will play Antony Armstrong-Jones, Dexter's Michael C. Hall will portray the charismatic President John F. Kennedy, and Quarry star Jodi Balfour will bring First Lady Jackie Kennedy to life. With this stellar cast, it's no wonder fans are buzzing with anticipation.
