The Crown Season 2 (December 8)

Netflix Original Series - 10 episodes

Claire Foy plays Elizabeth II and Matt Smith (Dr. Who) plays Prince Phillip. Netflix has committed to 2 seasons/20 episodes, though the show could extend to cover current day.
Michael C. Hall will play JFK in season 2,which will conclude at 1964, which could signal a new cast moving forward. Foy and Smith would be too young to play their respective parts at that point. The creators have mentioned continuing to present day.
While seasons 3 and 4 have not officially been confirmed, it was reported on October 27 that Olivia Colman (Broadchurch, The Night Manager) will play Queen Elizabeth in seasons 3 and 4. Early pre-production has already begun.
