Surprise Season 6 of The Crown to focus on Robo-Queen years of 2020s

A surprise season 6 of The Crown has been announced that will draw its storylines from the 2020s and the transition in Britain from Queen to Robo-Queen.

It had been expected that The Crown would end with season 5, but after producers gained access to plans to develop a Robo-Queen who would rule Britain for millennia, they decided a further series was warranted.

“The 2020s are going to be a fascinating period for Britain,” said Crown creator Peter Morgan.

“Apart from a brief period in the thirties, Britain has never had a robot monarch, so to see how it adjusts and the constitutional issues it causes will make for fascinating viewing.”

The season will begin in 2021, when the current Queen abdicates to make way for the Robo-Queen. Initially, the Robo-Queen will be a metal representation of a monarch with rudimentary skills such as waving and asking people what they do.

As the decade progresses and robo-monarch technology improves, the Robo-Queen develops more and more Queen powers and her outer metal shell is covered in a skin-like polymer that renders her indistinguishable from any other head-of-state.

By the end of the decade, the Robo-Queen is a fully functioning monarch who is able to fulfil all the obligations of the current Queen, such as waving and asking people what they do.

The season will end in 2030 with Britain looking to the future under the steady governance of the world’s only Robo-Queen.

“It looks like being a fascinating period for Britain, and I’m glad that season 6 of The Crown will be able to cover it in full,” said a clearly please Peter Morgan.

It is thought unlikely that the show will depict the controversial early Robo-Queen prototypes where programming errors caused one to record a reggae album and convert to Rastafarianism and another to launch all-out robo-warfare against the people of Chichester.
