Kicking off Sunday, Nov. 17, on Netflix, the 10-episode season covers the years 1964-77 and finds Britain in the midst of change as Queen Elizabeth II (Olivia Colman, "Flea - bag," taking over for Claire Foy) and the royals adapt to an era of Cold War paranoia, more liberal social mores and turbulence, as exemplified by the government's move left with the election of the Labour Party's Harold Wilson (Jason Watkins, "A Very English Scandal") as prime minister. Her husband, Prince Philip (To - bias Menzies, "Outlander," succeed- ing Matt Smith), remains staunchly by her side, even as he's frustrated by the mundanity of his role. Princess Margaret (Helena Bonham Carter, "The King's Speech," taking over for Vanessa Kirby), too, is frustrated — in her case, by the long shadow cast by her powerful sister — as her mar- riage to Tony Armstrong Jones (Ben Daniels, "Flesh and Bone," succeed- ing Matthew Goode) crumbles. And shy, sensitive Prince Charles (Josh O'Connor, "God's Own Country") must choose between love and duty as he embarks on a relationship with Camilla Shand (Emerald Fennell, "Killing Eve") — about which his mother is not amused. "The Queen wants to protect him but also needs him to know he's go - ing to be next," Colman explains. "There's some friction as well, as there would be. Show me a mother and young adult who are fine with everything. Some of his decisions are quite difficult for her and vice versa." Also experiencing friction with the Queen is Margaret. The two sisters are polar opposites — Margaret, free-spirited and fun-loving but also unreliable; and Elizabeth, a leader whose stolid, reserved demeanor is sometimes mistaken for a lack of empathy. At times their sibling rival - ry can be amusing, as was the case in one episode where Margaret scores a diplomatic victory with a foreign dignitary, much to Elizabeth's obvi- ous envy. "Having spoken to Margaret's friends," Bonham Carter explains, "it seems she profoundly loved her sister and they regretted losing that closeness. There's a great scene this series where you'll see just how im - portant they are to each other but prior to that, there's a lot of rivalry. There's an ambivalence, which is quite realistic with siblings, and it's exacerbated by the fact that one becomes Queen and has a happy marriage and the other slowly disin - tegrates." Bonham Carter, in fact, sees similarities between Colman and Elizabeth. "The very first scene Olivia and I had to do," she explains, "was where I tell about the disasters of Aberfan (a Wales coal mine disaster that killed 144 in 1966). Olivia really can't not have empathy, so in order not to sob, she had to listen to the shipping news. She's very available but also very unaffected, which is what I think the Queen is like, too. Olivia is very down to earth and has a real social responsibility so I think she'd make a really good Queen actually. There's a lack of self-impor - tance about both of them." Celebrity Scoop Celebrity Scoop The royal family face new challenges and middle age in Season 3 of 'The Crown' Cover Story Cover Story By George Dickie If there is one thing Gina Carano prides herself on, it's being able to make a fight scene look real. And that's probably because as a former mixed martial arts fighter, she knows what a real punch, kick or fall looks like and can execute them flawlessly and without injury to any- one. Steven Soderbergh, her director on the 2011 actioner "Haywire," caught onto it right away, as did Jon Favreau, the creator of her current series "The Mandalorian." "I actually feel like I fought it a lot a long time," the 37-year-old actress explains, "because I wanted to kind of do other things besides action and I wanted to get more into romantic drama kind of stuff. But then I re- ally embraced it in the last couple of years and I'm really proud of that be- cause it does take a certain kind of, not just physicality but there's some- thing behind knowing that you can possibly do that but you just can't fake. So I'm enjoying that now." Checking in with Gina Carano In "The Mandalorian," an original drama from the "Star Wars" universe that currently streams on Disney+, Carano stars as soldier Cara Dune, a role she says Favreau wrote specifi- cally with her in mind. Conversely, Carano has always been a Favreau admirer — as an actor in films such as "The Break Up" and "Four Christmases" as well as his work as a filmmaker — and so the two be- came fast friends when he hired her for this series. "The cool thing about him," Carano says, "is you can be com- pletely starstruck standing next to him but you just feel so comfortable, and I've never had those two things go in one. Like, he's so sweet, his energy is so giving and he ... seems like he's a regular guy but he's a frickin' giant. You know, he's just this giant powerhouse. So just one of my favorite people I've met in this busi - ness by far."
