As the seasons go on, the storylines on The Crown only get more juicy. And ushering us into the 1990s and the demise of Princess Diana's marriage to Prince Charles is Elizabeth Debicki, who plays Diana in the new season, taking over the role from Emma Corrin. (The role of Charles is being passed from Josh O'Connor to Dominic West.) Bring on the revenge dress!
While the role of Diana is already huge for Debicki—The Crown is kind of a big deal—and might mark the first time that some viewers see her in action, it's far from her first big role. The 32-year-old has been appearing in movies and TV series for years, including everything from an adaptation of a classic novel, to Shakespeare, to science fiction, to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
