It will be released in two parts
Sharing a teaser on social media, Netflix revealed part one of the final season will be released on November 16, with the second part arriving on December 14.
The first part will be made up of four episodes, with part two made up of six, the Hollywood Reporter reports.
The teaser features the voices of Claire Foy and Olivia Colman, who both played Queen Elizabeth II in earlier seasons of the show, before the camera lands on Imelda Staunton’s portrayal of the late monarch.
Colman can be heard saying that being the queen is “not a choice; it is a duty.” Staunton’s voice then wonders: “But what about the life I put aside?|”

It is not a choice. It is a duty. The final season of The Crown arrives next month.

The sixth and final installment of the hugely popular Netflix show is set to follow the Royal family through the years 1997-2005. The first batch of episodes is set to depict the relationship between Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) and Dodi Fayed (Khalid Abdalla) and their deaths in a 1997 car crash in Paris.
Part two will then look at Prince Charles’ (Dominic West) wedding with Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams), while also focusing on Charles’ sons, William (Ed McVey) and Harry (Luther Ford).
The decision to split the final season into two parts is a familiar move from Netflix, with the streamer having also done this with the most recent seasons of shows such as Stranger Things, You and The Witcher.
Over the course of its five seasons, The Crown has been one of Netflix’s most viewed and most critically acclaimed series, having won 21 Emmy Awards, including best drama series for its fourth season.
But it has also attracted criticism from some who believe too many people believe it is completely based in fact.
Creator Peter Morgan has previously defended the fact that a lot of scenes are fabricated by writers, despite being about real world people, pointing out that the show is very much a drama series.
