Even with filming and production stalled, Netflix is set to deliver an impressive slate of new content this autumn.
From the return of Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown to new work from Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher, here’s our guide to what’s coming up.
The Crown (Season four), 15 November
To call The Crown the highlight of Netflix’s autumn season would be an understatement. After all, even the release of the official trailer – due any minute now incidentally – is usually enough to send the internet into a tizzy. For those who don’t already know, this year’s outing – covering the 1980s – sees the introduction of the two most influential women of the decade, with Gillian Anderson’s highly-awaited turn as Margaret Thatcher and newcomer Emma Corrin as Princess Diana. Roll on the nostalgia.
Mank, TBD (October)
Amanda Seyfried in Mank (Netflix)
Gone Girl director David Fincher polishes off an unfinished screenplay from his late father, Jack Fincher, to tell the story of Herman Mankiewicz, the legendary screenwriter whose feud with Orson Welles over who deserved credit for Citizen Kane raged for years after the film’s release.
