Gillian Anderson is reportedly set to play the iconic role of Margaret Thatcher in the highly anticipated Season 4 of The Crown. If you’ve been following the buzz around this show, you know that casting decisions are always a big deal. According to multiple sources, Gillian, best known for her role in The X-Files, has been in talks with Netflix since April 2018 to portray the legendary British Prime Minister, who passed away in 2013 at the age of 87. While her deal hasn’t been officially finalized yet, fans are already excited to see how Gillian will bring Margaret’s strong, no-nonsense personality to life. It’s still unclear whether Gillian will only appear in Season 4 or also take on the role in the upcoming Season 3, which is set in the mid-1960s.
A New Season, New Faces
This isn’t the first time The Crown has been making waves with its casting announcements. Just a few months ago, in late October 2018, it was revealed that Emerald Fennell, known for her work on Call the Midwife, would be joining the cast as Camilla Parker-Bowles. Camilla, who eventually became Prince Charles’ second wife, is a fascinating character whose relationship with the royal family has been the subject of much speculation over the years. Emerald’s addition to the cast is generating a lot of excitement, and she herself seems thrilled to be part of such a prestigious project.

Emerald Fennell Talks About Her Role
The Crown fans were treated to a statement from Emerald last fall, where she expressed her excitement about portraying Camilla Parker-Bowles. "I’m absolutely over the moon, and completely terrified, to be joining so many hugely talented people on The Crown," Emerald said. She went on to share her love for Camilla and joked about her teenage years preparing her for the role, describing Camilla as a "chain-smoking serial snogger with a pudding bowl haircut." Emerald’s enthusiasm and wit make her the perfect fit for this complex character.
Meanwhile, Netflix has also announced that Josh O'Connor will be stepping into the shoes of Prince Charles for Season 3. Josh, who is 28 years old, is thrilled to be joining the cast and has acknowledged the challenge of portraying such a pivotal figure in British history. He mentioned that the upcoming seasons will cover some of the most turbulent events in Prince Charles’ life, and he’s looking forward to bringing the character to life. Josh even joked about his physical resemblance to the Prince, saying he has the right ears for the role!
