Netflix recently confirmed the set of the fifth season of The Crown suffered a heist that cost the production over $200,000, or about £150,000. Reportedly, three vehicles were broken into and ransacked in Mexborough. The trucks were parked in a lorry park that was not too far from where production on The Crown Season 5 was taking place. Over 350 items were stolen in the heist overall.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Netflix made an official statement, saying, "we can confirm the antiques have been stolen, and we hope that they are found and returned safely. Replacements will be sourced, there is no expectation that filming will be held up." The Crown's set decorator, Alison Harvey, also spoke to The Gazette on the matter, saying, "The items stolen are not necessarily in the best condition and therefore of limited value for resale.
The Crown Season 5 will hit Netflix sometime in November 2022, and you can watch the first four seasons on the streaming service now.
No worries, Lt. Morse is on it.
