The Crown is set to return to Netflix for its sixth season later this year.
The upcoming season was previously reported to be the final instalment of the hit drama.
However, sources have claimed Netflix is keen to keep the series running in some way.
A source told The UK Sun: “Although this sounds like a drastic change, it’s one that proved a huge success for Downton Abbey, which ran for 52 episodes before continuing as two hit films.”
“Creating a movie, or perhaps a series of specials, means creators would have so much more flexibility to jump in terms of time and topics.”
“They could deliver a prequel, perhaps focusing on the abdication crisis in the 1930s. Down the line, there’s the option to revisit the 21st century royals, perhaps focusing on Harry meeting Meghan and his fallout with William.”
The upcoming final season will see Elizabeth Debicki return as Princess Diana, depicting the year of her death, 1997.
