Josh O'Connor and Marion Bailey to play the roles of Prince Charles and Queen Mother in 'The Crown' Season 3
Netflix's 'The Crown' has found the new actors who are to replace Julian Baring and Victoria Hamilton as Prince Charles and the Queen Mother in the upcoming new season. The British actor Josh O' Connor (known for his role in 'God's Own Country') will be cast as the Prince of Wales and Marion Bailey (known for her role in the 2007 movie 'Persuasion') will play the role of the Queen Mother in the third season of the Peter Morgan drama series.
As each season delves into an entire decade in the life of England's longest-serving monarch, Season 3 is being re-casted to project the aging royal family. Netflix's chief content officer, Ted Sarandos spoke about the six-season plan back in 2016 and said in a statement to Hollywood Reporter, "This is going to take Queen Elizabeth from age 29 to, presumably, the current day. We'll see it layout over decades...The idea is to do this over six decades in six seasons presumably, and make the whole show [run] over eight to 10 years." O'Connor has been pretty thrilled about his role.
