The Crown

The moments about to arrive in this acclaimed drama series are the ones viewers have been waiting for since the 2016 debut. Olivia Colman returns after her first brilliant season playing Queen Elizabeth II in middle age and is joined by new costars who portray two women who each temporarily eclipsed the monarch as the face of modern Britain. Gillian Anderson’s Margaret Thatcher is forceful from day one, while Emma Corrin shines in the trickier role of the demure teenager who eventually captures the world’s heart without ever winning the trust of the royals. Available for streaming Sunday, Nov. 15, Netflix
