'The Crown' Producer on Bidding Farewell to Cast, Anxiety About Future Seasons

Quote:

Netflix's big-budget historical drama, which follows Queen Elizabeth II over  multiple decades, is  about to undergo a dramatic change. The series is swapping out its current stars — including Emmy-nominated actors Claire Foy, Matt Smith and Vanessa Kirby — for new ones who'll portray  the same characters a few years on. With the casting musical chairs, it's the last chance for Foy, Smith and the rest of the original actors to nab trophies for their work on the Peter Morgan-created drama, which is up for a total of nine awards.

Series producer Suzanne Mackie spoke with  THR about the difficulty of saying goodbye to beloved actors, what gives her anxiety about future seasons of the show and the one question she wishes to never be asked about again (hint: it has to do with the queen's viewing habits).

What are you most looking forward to at the Emmys?

Netflix's afterparty. But, seriously, we're so proud of our nominated cast and crew — Claire, Matt and Vanessa have been extraordinary. It's thrilling.

How was this season different  from the first season?

Season two depicted the late  '50s and early swinging '60s,  and with it introduced a whole new mood and atmosphere. Princess Margaret and Armstrong-Jones embody these sociopolitical changes.

What was it like to say goodbye to such beloved characters and actors?

It was very sad to say goodbye to the season one and two cast; they were brilliant and we'd all become friends. But I don't think any other show has recast its characters between seasons, so there is something both nerve-wracking and exhilarating too.

What can you tease about the next season of The Crown?

The arrival of a new generation  of characters, with Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Camilla.

What gives you the most anxiety about future seasons of the series?

As we get closer and closer to  the present day, our audience will have a more vivid reaction to the events we depict.

What was your favorite line of  dialogue from the second season?

Elizabeth to Prime Minister Macmillan: "I've been queen barely 10 years, and in that time I've had three prime ministers, all of them ambitious men, clever men, brilliant men. Not one has lasted the course. They've either been too old, too ill or too weak. A confederacy of elected quitters." Peter Morgan wrote that the day of the Brexit result. It chimes.

What's the most unexpected response you've gotten to your series this season?

Teenagers telling us they've watched it twice.

What's the one thing you never want to be asked about on the red carpet again?

"Has the queen watched it?"

Which of your cast is best suited  to run for office?

John Lithgow — we could do with someone fair and good.

thanks for that, Karen

JoJoF92 · 08-15-2018, 12:29 PM

it's hard to wait
