The First 'The Crown' Season 5 Images Show Off Netflix's New Royal Family

Netflix's smash hit period drama The Crown, which dramatizes the story of Queen Elizabeth II and her family, will launch its highly anticipated fifth season this November. Still, the show will arrive in a world that's much changed, at least when it comes to the British monarchy.

The real Queen Elizabeth passed away in early September, and a reign that spanned seven decades has now come to a close. Her son Charles is now king and will be crowned next Spring, likely well before the show's sixth and final season drops. We've just spent weeks watching the Royal Family grieve on live television, along with countless tributes and events in the late queen's honor.

How will the world react to a show like The Crown now, a drama which certainly highlights the late queen's strength of character and iron will but also airs retreads every bit of her family's dirty laundry for the last few decades in granular detail?
