As the Netflix hit TheCrown returns for a third season, viewers will notice a new crop of actors is taking over Buckingham Palace.
The drama — which follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II from the 1940s to, in the new episodes, her reign in the '60s and '70s — replaced its season one and two stars Claire Foy, Matt Smith and Vanessa Kirby this season as the characters entered middle age, welcoming Olivia Colman, Tobias Menzies and Helena Bonham Carter in their place.
Another inconsistency were the actors' heights, with Bonham Carter several inches shorter than Kirby, though she used that to her advantage when taking over the role of Princess Margaret. While previous seasons have focused on Elizabeth and Philip's courtship and marriage, season three takes the show from "being a husband-and-wife-drama to a full-blown family drama," Morgan said, with the royal children entering adulthood and getting their own stories. Things also get more complicated for the Queen, as she deals with the death of Winston Churchill and a rotating cast of political characters.
