"The prequel will cover the British royal family's lives from the time Queen Victoria died in 1901 until the beginning of the events in the original series, particularly when the then-Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten."
"The Daily Mail said the companies have allocated £500 million ($681 million) for the prequel's production, which will also be helmed by The Crown creator Peter Morgan."
"Morgan previously said that he wasn't done with the subject yet but couldn't imagine himself wanting to tackle more recent events."
"The original show got the lone streaming win at the SAG Awards back in 2018, and it helped Netflix dominate the Golden Globes a few years later."
