Season one of the historical hit was released in November 2016 and series two in December 2017, however, there was a longer production period leading into the third season due to the introduction of a brand new cast and a time jump in the storyline.
Filming for season three began in July 2018, and Olivia Colman confirmed at the 2019 Oscars in February that principal filming for the show had just finished – although she also mentioned that reshoots were about to take place.
Filming for season four of The Crown will start in August 2019.
The Crown season three cast
Olivia Colman as the Queen
Oscar winner Olivia Colman will star in the third season of The Crown as Queen Elizabeth II. The star of Broadchurch and The Night Manager has taken over the role from Claire Foy, who portrayed the Queen in the first two seasons of the show. Colman’s storyline will span the Queen’s life from 1964-1976.

Bad casting this season. I would have preferred if Claire Foy had been aged to play the Queen, rather than Olivia Coleman, who hopefully the makeup artists have done something about her shocking overbite. Gillian Anderson, not so much as Margaret Thatcher either.
Some good casting here. Also, you've called Emerald Fennell 'Esther'. (Pretty sure it's not the first time you've done that - or you've recycled a previous article without proof reading it.)
