The Crown is one of the most glamorous and visually stunning shows on TV. There's no question about it and it looks like season two continues the grand tradition set by season one.
Starring Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II (it's her last time with the crown on her head, you better cherish it), season two of Netflix's award-winning royal period drama continues the drama around the world's most famous monarchy. Doctor Who's Matt Smith returns as the restless Prince Philip as the monarchy faces new challenges in an ever-changing world.
Season two picks up with an illegal war in Egypt and ends with the downfall of Harold Macmillan, the third Prime Minister to serve with the Queen. Welcome to the ‘60s! Vanessa Kirby's Princess Margaret romances a photographer played by The Good Wife's Matthew Goode and Dexter's Michael C. Hall appears in the new season as President John F. Kennedy. Jodi Balfour of Quarry fame will take on the role of Jacqueline Kennedy.
Take a look at some stunning behind-the-scenes photos from the new season below.
When The Crown returns for its third and fourth seasons, The Night Manager and Broadchurch star Olivia Colman will have the crown atop her head.
The Crown season two premieres Friday, Dec. 8 on Netflix.
