The trailer reveals the first footage of the upcoming season, in which Olivia takes over for Claire Foy, who played the Queen in the first two seasons of the show.

The third and fourth seasons of the show will chronicle Queen Elizabeth‘s accession to the present day, and will also include Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, Tobias Menzies as The Duke of Edinburgh, Josh O’Connor as Prince Charles, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne, Ben Daniels as Lord Snowdon, Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Charles Dance as Lord Mountbatten.

In Season 3, Queen Elizabeth (Colman) and her family struggle to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing Britain. From cold-war paranoia, through to the jet-set and the space age — the exuberance of the 1960s and the long hangover of the 1970s — Elizabeth and the Royals must adapt to a new, more liberated, but also more turbulent world.

The Crown returns on November 17. Watch the trailer inside…
