"The Crown" Season 2 is currently filming in London for its biggest comeback in 2017 but there is apprehension that there will be no third season. The showrunner Peter Morgan is making sure that the Monarch's Queen Elizabeth II historical drama will be produced on screen worthy of acclaim by the British royals. On the other hand, Netflix is optimistic for more seasons at most 6 to chronicle the Queen's reign and rule.
According to TVseriesfinale, the show runner and creator of "The Crown" Season 2 Peter Morgan revealed in an interview that he is too busy for the next season. Besides, he wants to focus on the filming and the production to ensure that the storyline will be based on the real - life story of Queen Elizabeth. Morgan honestly disclosed that season 3 is beyond his vision and expectation at the present.
In contrast to Morgan's mindset, Netflix has the opposite vision for "The Crown" Season 2. In spite of the decline of ratings in the viewers' chart, Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief is looking forward to 5 seasons more. Netflix has a grand plan for the series to have a likely eight to 10 years streaming.

In a report by Gamenguide, other casts of the series for season 2 includes John Lithgow to play Sir Winston Churchill, Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret, Jared Harris (King George), Victoria Hamilton as Queen Elizabeth's mother.
In various reports, "The Crown" Season 2 has a very low viewership of only 496,000 for its first episode, even lower that "Longmire" Season 5. The show will be back for streaming in Netflix sometime in November 2017. Morgan's challenge now is how to keep the series afloat in the ratings.
