Production is well under way for the new series, which will see the entirety of The Crown's beloved original cast – including Claire Foy, Matt Smith and Vanessa Kirby – replaced by new actors to portray the royal family in their later years (with series three and four covering the period of 1964-76).
Colman, Menzies and Bonham Carter are set to be joined by Line of Duty's Jason Watkins, who will play former PM Harold Wilson, Call the Midwife's Erin Doherty as Princess Anne and Josh O'Connor (The Durrells), who will star as the young Prince Charles.
The Crown series three is expected to be released on Netflix in 2019
