Trailer: ‘The Crown’ season 4 returns November 15; first look at Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana

Season four of the Emmy-winning royal drama The Crown returns on November 15 and in this brief teaser we get our first looks at Gillian Anderson as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Emma Corrin as Lady Diana Spencer. The 10-episode fourth season covers the period from 1979 to 1990.

As the 1970s are drawing to a close, Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) and her family find themselves preoccupied with safeguarding the line of succession by securing an appropriate bride for Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor), who is still unmarried at 30. As the nation begins to feel the impact of divisive policies introduced by Britain’s first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson), tensions arise between her and the Queen which only grow worse as Thatcher leads the country into the Falklands War, generating conflict within the Commonwealth. While Charles’ romance with a young Lady Diana Spencer (Emma Corrin) provides a much-needed fairytale to unite the British people, behind closed doors, the Royal family is becoming increasingly divided.

The series also stars Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip and Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret. It is written by Peter Morgan and executive produced by Morgan, Stephen Daldry, Andy Harries, Suzanne Mackie, Benjamin Caron, Robert Fox and Matthew Byam Shaw.
