The Crown seasons 5 and 6 are turning the clocks forward to the 1990s, looking at the marriage between Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
We already know that Charles and Diana will be played by The Wire and Pride's Dominic West, and Guardians of the Galaxy and The Great Gatsby's Elizabeth Debicki, respectively. But now it's been revealed who is playing Charles' son Prince William – and it's a very interesting piece of casting indeed.
As detailed by The Hollywood Reporter, William will be played by Senan West.
As you can tell by the name, he's Dominic West's real-life son, now playing his on-screen son in his first TV role.
You can see Senan with his dad and siblings in these Instagram shots from the official Instagram account for the castle that Dominic owns with his wife Catherine FitzGerald.
So, between living in a castle and working alongside his real-life son, Dominic West has taken method acting to a whole new level.
The latest casting news comes shortly after Debicki spoke recently about taking on the role of Diana, stating that nerves had definitely set in.
"It's a dream role," she said when the casting was announced. "She is such a remarkable human being and she really does still live in the hearts of so many people. I'm overwhelmed, I'm terrified and I'm excited. I can't wait to start."
Other new cast members for season 5 and 6 include Johnny Lee Miller, Jonathan Pryce and the legendary Imelda Staunton, who's taking on the role of Queen Elizabeth.
Unfortunately, there's going to be a year wait before we see this all on screen.
The Crown season 5 will premiere in November 2022, while seasons 1-4 are now streaming on Netflix. Seasons 1-4 are also available on DVD and Blu-ray.
