The merry-go-round of actors turned for the last time in the historical series “The Crown” and some roles were recast for the third time.
Who are the new faces stepping up the Netflix series in its fifth and final leg?
Fans have had to wait a full two years for The Crown to return.
Last week, the hit series reported to Netflix, where the basic subscription with advertising has been available from EUR 4.99 since November, and is finally back with the fifth season and, like after the second season, brought with it a complete change of actors, to show the aging process of the protagonists more realistically.
