A household name has been rumoured to replace Olivia Colman for seasons five and six of The Crown and no, it's not Helen Mirren
November 22, 2019 - 11:01 GMT Emmy Griffiths While Olivia Colman still has another series to go as the Queen in The Crown, it has already been rumoured that she will be replaced by none other than Imelda Staunton for the show's seasons five and six. The show looks at the royal family through the Queen's reign, meaning that following season four, an older actress will be cast in the role, which has so far been played by Claire Foy and Olivia.

Chatting on Lorraine, she said:"A lot of people are wonderful. Claire [Foy] I thought was brilliant, I know Olivia [Colman] is going to be fantastic. I think it's more interesting when you see other portraits and it builds into a much more interesting picture [rather than] someone just coming back.
