The Crown Season 5 + more Netflix releases
Moving right along, we come next to a Netflix original drama that none other than the streaming giant’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos has described as the “crown jewel” of its original content slate.
We’re referring, of course, to The Crown, Season 5 of which debuted on Netflix on Wednesday, November 9.
From Netflix’s summary of the new season:
“As Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton) approaches the 40th anniversary of her accession, she reflects on a reign that has encompassed nine prime ministers, the advent of mass television, and the twilight of the British Empire. Yet new challenges are on the horizon. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong signals a seismic shift in the international order presenting both obstacles and opportunities. Meanwhile, trouble is brewing closer to home.”
Before she passed away at age 96 in September, Queen Elizabeth herself was known to watch this series, which dramatizes the life and times of the modern British Royal Family. The new season of the show currently has a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes as of the time of this writing, proving the durability and continued popularity of what’s proven to be among the best examples of what Netflix can do on the original content front.
Additional titles
Meanwhile, two Netflix releases worth checking out if you’re a documentary fan include:
FIFA Uncovered: From Netflix’s logline about this 4-episode documentary release: “For decades, FIFA united the globe through football. But behind the game, craftier schemes were at play.
