Gillian Anderson Explains Why 'The Crown' Ended At 'The Right Spot'
HuffPost
The Netflix show ended its six-season run last year.
Gillian Anderson thinks “The Crown” ended at “the right spot” when it wrapped up with season six last year, which depicted the show ending in 2005.
Anderson, who portrayed British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in season four of the Netflix hit, told ET last week that the show “was getting too close to present-day.”
“It’s much easier when it was further in the past, and I think people didn’t have necessarily a direct relationship with the people on the screen,” she said.
Anderson’s comments echo those of her former co-star, Helena Bonham Carter, who also felt it was time for the show to draw to a close.
“I don’t think they should carry on, actually,” Bonham Carter said in an interview with The Guardian last year. “I’m in it and I loved my episodes, but it’s very different now.”
