The Crown has found its final Prince Philip.
Deadline is reporting that Game of Thrones veteran Jonathan Pryce will play Elizabeth II's husband on the final two seasons of the Netflix drama.
Pryce is taking over the role from Tobias Menzies, who starred on the third season, as well as the upcoming fourth season.
The role originated with Matt Smith, who played the character in the first two seasons.
Pryce joins a cast that already includes Imelda Staunton as Elizabeth, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret.
Given that the fourth season has yet to hit the air, the rest of the cast of the fifth and sixth seasons will be announced in due course.
The fifth season, however, has been pushed to 2022, meaning that there will be an almost two-year wait between the fourth and fifth seasons.
The series typically takes a bigger gap between seasons because of the production demands.
