Test your knowledge of all six seasons of The Crown, from Claire Foy's Emmy-winning portrayal to Imelda Staunton's final season. Cover the real historical events depicted, the multiple actors who played each royal, the show's awards and controversies, and the debate over historical accuracy versus dramatic license.
Three actresses played Queen Elizabeth II across the show's six seasons: Claire Foy (Seasons 1-2, covering 1947-1964), Olivia Colman (Seasons 3-4, covering 1964-1990), and Imelda Staunton (Seasons 5-6, covering 1990-2005).
The Crown blends real historical events with dramatic fiction. While major events like the coronation, the Aberfan disaster, and Diana's death are depicted, many private conversations and personal motivations are imagined by creator Peter Morgan. The show has faced criticism for presenting speculation as fact, particularly in later seasons.
Season 4 was the most decorated, sweeping all seven drama categories at the 2021 Emmy Awards — an unprecedented achievement. The series won a total of 21 Primetime Emmy Awards across its run, along with numerous Golden Globes and SAG Awards.
