Netflix announced on Monday that season three will make its "royal debut" on Sunday, Nov. 17 with a brief video announcement showing Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II.
The anticipated new season will span from 1964 to 1977 as Colman takes over the main role of Queen Elizabeth from Claire Foy, who portrayed a younger version of her in the first two seasons.
Menzies, meanwhile, replaces Matt Smith, who originated the role as the Duke of Edinburgh.
The actors will portray their respective royals for season three and four, which will also introduce Emma Corrin as Lady Diana Spencer.
