Netflix's 'The Crown' Teaser: $130-Million Captivating Royal Drama Showcases Queen Elizabeth's Life Like 'Game Of Thrones'

Netflix's next biggest original series is set to debut in November. "The Crown" is a story based on Queen Elizabeth II's life. From the newly-released trailer, Netflix has taken poetic liberty in retelling her story as if it's a "Game of Thrones" saga. The new royal drama supposedly cost $130 million to produce.

Claire Foy leads the cast of "The Crown" as Queen Elizabeth II, who marries Prince Phillip (Matt Smith), while she just assumed her royal post. The new Netflix teaser shows the queen in her mid-20s as she struggles to reconcile her duty to the monarchy and her personal life with her husband. A voice on the teaser reminds Queen Elizabeth, "The crown must win - must always win." Watch it below.

There's romance, drama and tension in "The Crown" teaser, which might leave viewers to ask if the real-life Queen Elizabeth has actually given permission for such a dramatic retelling. "The Crown" is written by playwright Peter Morgan, who has produced different award-winning stories about Queen Elizabeth in the past.

Morgan said that Buckingham Palace is quite aware his works, including "The Crown" on Netflix. "But I don't speak to any member of the royal family about this," Morgan said, via Time. Yet everything about the Netflix show is heavily researched. "Other showrunners have writers' rooms. I have a researcher's room," Morgan said.

Meanwhile, Netflix boss Ted Sarandos is optimistic that "The Crown" will do well and he's confident that they have picked the right project to invest $130 million in, according to Daily Beast. "[It's a] scale that I don't think many networks could step up to," Sarandos said, Yahoo reports. "Because our audience is large and global and the story is incredibly local we can invest heavily in a project like that," he added.

Though Netflix isn't talking about renewals for "The Crown" just yet, there is already a plan for the succeeding seasons. Queen Elizabeth II's life will be depicted in the drama series within one decade in every season. Catch "The Crown" when it debuts on the streaming service Nov. 4.
