The Netflix original series The Crown posts a casting call for the role of Kate Middleton. Created and principally written by Peter Morgan, the historical drama series The Crown follows the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II of England.

Netflix released The Crown's first season in November 2016 and will release the fifth season this fall, in November 2022. The show continually updates its cast to accommodate the large time span covered — for example, Claire Foy portrays the Queen in the first two seasons that begin in 1947, while for the third and fourth seasons that begin in the 1960s, Olivia Colman takes over the role. Season 4, which aired in November 2020, also added Emma Corrin as Lady Diana Spencer and Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher. Season 5 of The Crown will cover the 1990s, and the sixth season, which is currently set to begin shooting this August, will venture into the politics of the 21st century.
