THE CROWN
Netflix, Season Six Part 1 streaming from November 16. Part 2 from December 14.
The trailer to the sixth and final series of The Crown certainly packs in the symbolism and yes, it's all about Diana. Played again by Elizabeth Debicki, the Princess appears in the preview reel among much foreboding imagery and visual metaphors.
There's Diana sitting on a diving board off the back of a luxury yacht, looking like she has been made to walk the plank. There's her walking through an actual minefield, as she did as part of an anti-landmine campaign in Angola in early 1997. And there's also a scene where she's playing some plaintive notes on a grand piano, her face reflected by its black wooden open lid.
The trailer also shows her getting into a car outside a Paris hotel and being harassed by motorcycle-riding paparazzi. But as the show's creator Peter Morgan told Variety, that will be as far as it goes depicting that night. "Oh, God, we were never going to show the crash. Never."
