Actress Olivia Colman (The Lobster) will be taking over the sceptre from Foy for the next season as Elizabeth and Helena Bonham Carter (Oceans 8) has been cast as Elizabeth’s sister Princess Margaret, taking over for Vanessa Kirby. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paul Bettany is currently in talks to take over the role of Philip for the upcoming season.
