Netflix has made the decision to add a disclaimer to the most recent trailer for The Crown season 5 in response to criticism of the show’s contentious plotlines.
In advance of the show’s upcoming premiere, Netflix adds a fiction disclaimer to the most recent trailer for The Crown season 5. Season one of the historical television series begins when the late Queen Elizabeth II was just a young woman and ends when she ascends to the throne.
Characters based on real members of the royal family have been shown at various points in their lives over the course of The Crown’s four seasons, which have focused on important events at Buckingham Palace.
The show has reached a point in its narrative prior to the season 5 premiere of The Crown where the storylines depict events that occurred to members of the royal family who are still alive and well.
That has sparked a significant backlash over the past two years, particularly given that controversial plot points were teased prior to the November release of The Crown season 5. The upcoming season will feature controversial conversations between Prince Charles and former UK Prime Minister John Major as well as the infamous “tampongate” incident.
Netflix decided to include a disclaimer in the latest trailer for The Crown season 5 after receiving a lot of criticism for a week. This decision is the result of a string of significant protests against the rumored fifth season of The Crown.
For the past two years, former UK Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden had asked Netflix to include a health warning that the show was fiction; The streaming giant has added a disclaimer to the trailer’s description, even though the disclaimer wasn’t exactly a health warning:
The controversy over the Crown’s historical accuracy is explained.
The fact that the upcoming season of The Crown is rumored to place a significant amount of emphasis on the turbulent marriage between Princess Diana and Prince Charles, which ultimately resulted in Diana’s tragic death, has been a major source of criticism for the show this year.
According to the most recent trailer, even though The Crown will not depict the horrific car accident that resulted in her death, it will still place a significant amount of emphasis on the circumstances surrounding her death and the subsequent events. Even though a disclaimer has been added, the majority of the show is still based on actual events, which has upset royal family members.
This is not the first time that The Crown has come under fire for the manner in which certain characters and storylines are presented on screen. In the past, storylines like the Soviet spy in season 3 and the portrayal of Charles and Diana’s relationship in season 4 have also received criticism.
However, in light of Queen Elizabeth II’s recent passing, Netflix executives and members of the royal family have been particularly sensitive to such matters. As a result, Netflix has decided to postpone the release of Harry and Meghan’s documentary series, which was originally scheduled for December. This disclaimer comes at the right time to try to placate critics, even though it was already obvious that the show is a work of fiction.
