LOS ANGELES: The first appearance of 'The Crown' Season 5 featuring a brand new cast has been unveiled by streaming giant Netflix.

The stills depict a despondent-appearing Princess Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, who replaced Emma Corrin in the previous season, as she enters a fancy evening engagement while wearing a sparkling gown, with her shoulders slumped and head lowered, reports "Variety".

In a different shot, Prince Charles (Dominic West, who takes over for Josh O'Connor from seasons 3 and 4) and his mistress Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams, who fills in for Emerald Fennell) are beaming while huddling together outside and seem to be watching fireworks.

However, in a different, joyful image, Diana and Charles may be seen vacationing with their young boys Prince William and Prince Harry on a speedboat.
"That's the great thing about playing these individuals at this period, because in the journey of 'The Crown' so far out of all the seasons, this is the most visual content we have of the Royal Family," Debicki said to the Netflix fan website Tudum, which first made the photographs public.
"Everything had begun to be videotaped in the 1990s, and the 24-hour news cycle had just begun, so we now have access to an unbelievable amount of stuff. Diana was the subject of the most photographs at the time. When an actor opens the portal, a massive informational tsunami hits them. I swam about in it with joy." West also said "Since the cast has changed every two seasons, I believe people are aware that this is not a copy.

This invokes a certain character. In the imagined talks of their inner lives -- something that no one knows -- is actually where the play resides." "I believe that's why it receives so much criticism. How are you supposed to know what they discuss in private? The simple answer is no, but we have a fantastic dramatist who imagines based on thorough study, and that's actually one of the things that makes the show so fascinating."

A picture of Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip (Jonathan Pryce), who are both dressed in the iconic red tartan, appears to show them in Scotland. Olivia Colman, who portrayed Her Majesty in the third and fourth seasons of the programme, is replaced by Staunton as the monarch and matriarch, while Tobias Menzies is replaced by Pryce.

In the first two seasons of the show, Matt Smith played Prince Philip and Claire Foy portrayed a young Queen in the first two decades of her reign.

The idea of "The Crown" is to mark the passage of time by changing the cast every two seasons. Each season covers roughly a decade in the life of the royal family.

On November 9, Season 5 will be available on Netflix all at once. It will follow the royal family through one of its most challenging decades, the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Three of the Queen's four children separated or divorced their marriages in 1992, which she infamously referred to as her "annus horribilis," and a devastating fire struck Windsor Castle.

The sixth and allegedly final season of "The Crown" is now in production; it will allegedly depict Diana's passing in 1997.
