The next chapter represents the show’s penultimate season, which was based on the lives of the British royal family. Season 6 of the show is already in the works, and actors have been cast, but series creator Peter Morgan previously told Deadline that the show will end after that.

“The Crown is a love letter to [the Queen], and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect,” Morgan said in a statement after Queen Elizabeth died on September 8. “I expect we will stop filming out of respect too.”

Filming on season 6 did pause for a few days, but it started up again in Spain on September 14.
