And we now know who'll be taking over from Olivia Coleman as the Queen.

The Crown will be getting sixth series, it has been confirmed.

The Netflix drama about the Royal Family was due to end after the fifth season - but the show's creator has now confirmed it'll be split into two parts.

In a tweet from the official Netflix account, writer/creator Peter Morgan said: “As we started to discuss the storylines for Series 5, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons.”

Netflixs official Twitter account tweeted the exciting news, writing: "News from the palace: we can confirm there will be a sixth (and final) season of @TheCrownNetflix, in addition to the previously announced five!"

It went on to conclude: "So to summarise – we’ll have one more season with Queen Olivia Colman, before she passes the crown to Imelda Staunton. We’re just half way through! Lovely."

The Crown only recently wrapped its season four filming early amid the coronavirus outbreak in a desperate bid to "tie up loose ends".

Season 4 is expected to be released later this year.
