The hit series, which depicts the life of Queen Elizabeth II faced with the disproportionate task of administering the most famous monarchy in the world for several decades, by staging scandals, political crises and the relationship she has with her husband Philip, is in its sixth season, currently filming.
"As a sign of respect, the filming of the series + The Crown + has been suspended today," a spokesperson for Netflix told AFP.
"Filming will also be suspended on the day of Her Majesty The Queen's funeral," he added, as many streaming platform officials are attending the Toronto International Film Festival this week.
The multiple-time Emmy award-winning series, the equivalent of the Oscars for American television, opened its first season on the wedding of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 1947.
