THE CROWN AND A TRIBUTE TO PETER MORGAN

US Premiere

For the third season of the award-winning original series, Oscar® winner Olivia Colman takes on the iconic role of Queen Elizabeth II while Tobias Menzies steps into the role of Prince Philip and Helena Bonham Carter is Princess Margaret.  These incredible actors embrace their new roles at the peak of the series’ creative powers and at a dramatic historical juncture, including Princess Margaret’s marriage to Lord Snowdon. Series creator and showrunner Peter Morgan demonstrates an uncanny ability to command a royal drama with wit, nuance and heartbreaking humanity.  Never before has serialized storytelling reached such epic regal heights and AFI FEST is proud to host this exciting new chapter in the ongoing series.
