“The Crown” is a love letter to her and I have nothing to add for now, only silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect as well,” Peter Morgan told Deadline in an email. The series is currently filming its sixth season. According to Deadline, Netflix has long had plans in place in case the queen dies during its run. One of the show’s directors and producers said when it premiered in 2016 that the show would stop production for a respectable amount of time if it happened. “None of us know when that time will come, but it would be right and proper to show respect to the Queen,” Stephen Daldry, the show’s director and producer, said in 2016, according to Deadline. “It would be a simple tribute and a sign of respect. He’s a global figure and that’s what we have to do.” Claire Foy, Olivia Colman and Imelda Staunton have played Elizabeth at various stages of her life throughout the series.
