As fans of The Crown become impatient to discover the third season of the historic series , a new rumor of the upcoming cast has appeared this weekend. Indeed, according to the Daily Mail, it is Hugh Laurie who could take over the role of Prince Philip.

The Crown, season 3: a lot of changes in perspective

If the first two seasons of the series have been very successful, partly thanks to the casting, season 3 should know a lot of upheavals. For example, it is Olivia Colman (heroine of the series "Broadchurch") that should take the role of Elizabeth II, played until then by Claire Foy and Helena Bonham Carter who will replace Vanessa Kirby in the role of Princess Margaret. And while it is the actor Paul Bettany who was tipped to play the Duke Of Edinburgh, it would finally be the interpreter of the famous Dr. House. For the moment the 58-year-old actor still has not accepted the role, but the creator of the series, Peter Morgan said he was "excited" to even see Hugh Laurie as Prince Philip.

And if for now, we do not know the official date of broadcast, the third season should arrive in December 2018. We already know that it will cover the period from the 1960s to the 1980s, which explains the total change of casting . During this new season, we should see new characters appear like Camilla Parker-Bowles (who will meet Prince Charles). What keep us in suspense until the broadcast of the series.
