Emma Corrin will join the cast of Netflix original series The Crown season 4. Corrin will play Lady Diana Spencer. Best known for her guest role in ITV 1s Grantchester, in 2019 Emma will go on to star as ‘Esme’, a key role in the upcoming 10-part Warner Brothers/EPIX series Pennyworth.
“Beyond excited and honoured to be joining The Crown for its fourth season. I have been glued to the show since the first episode and to think I’m now joining this incredibly talented acting family is just surreal. Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring. To be given the chance to explore her through Peter Morgan’s writing is the most exceptional opportunity, and I will strive to do her justice!” Corrin commented.
“Emma is a brilliant talent who immediately captivated us when she came in for the part of Diana Spencer. As well as having the innocence and beauty of a young Diana, she also has, in abundance, the range and complexity to portray an extraordinary woman who went from anonymous teenager to becoming the most iconic woman of her generation.” Series creator Peter Morgan commented.
