Synopsis
The Crown, Season 5 — watch online on iFILM: all 10 episodes of Netflix's historical drama set against the Windsors' most turbulent decade. It's the early 1990s, and the palace is fighting fires on every front.
Charles and Diana have stopped pretending. The marriage lives only in headlines now, and each side leaks, plants, and maneuvers for public sympathy. Diana meets BBC journalist Martin Bashir and starts thinking about going on camera herself. Charles is still reeling from an intercepted phone call with Camilla. The Queen watches three of her children's marriages collapse in the same year Windsor Castle burns — and asks herself what, exactly, she has spent forty years defending.
Imelda Staunton plays Elizabeth with tight-lipped composure; of the three actresses who have held this role, she lands the hardest interior moments. Elizabeth Debicki as Diana is something separate — private and quietly fierce. Stream The Crown Season 5 all episodes on iFILM.
