Netflix released her first look at Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II in the new season of "The Crown", which is in production. Colman will play Her Majesty in the third and fourth seasons of success, taking on the role of Claire Foy.

The picture shows Queen sipping a nice cup of tea and wearing her branded pearls. You can not see other members of the cast.

The first season should begin in 2019. Going back to roughly where the second season ended, it covers the period from 1964 until the early 1970s. Revised distribution includes Tobias Menzies as the Queen's husband, Prince Philip; Helena Bonham Carter as sister of the Queen, Princess Margaret; and the recently announced Ben Daniels as Antony Armstrong-Jones, Margaret's husband.

The second season of the drama of the royal family has just received 13 Emmy nominations, including one for the best drama. Foy was nominated for her critically acclaimed performance as the young Elizabeth. Vanessa Kirby and Matt Smith have received nominations for their performances as Margaret and Philip, respectively.

There has not yet been any announcement of who will play the young Prince Charles, the heir to the throne. The actor Josh O 'Connor ("God's Own Country") was announced as a strong candidate.

Netflix dropped Colman's image Monday on his Twitter feed for "The Crown".
