Huzzah!

After telling us there would only be a fifth season of The Queen and breaking our hearts, it turns out there WILL be a sixth:

The Crown series creator Peter Morgan had announced season 5 would be its last.

Turns out, he had a change of heart. 

 

Netflix revealed Thursday that its hit series, which focuses on the British royal family, has been renewed for a sixth and final season.

 

"As we started to discuss the story lines for Series 5, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons," Morgan said in a statement.

Unfortunately someone on Twitter beat me to the "can it go longer so Meaghan Merckle can play herself?" joke. 

Get caught up with last season's trailer.
