Diana tragically died in 1997 after sustaining injuries from a car crash in Paris. The final season of the Netflix show was filmed in late 2022, and there was understandably a lot of anxiety around shooting that sensitive part.

“The show might be big and noisy, but we’re not. We’re thoughtful people and we’re sensitive people,” Suzanne Mackie said. “There were very careful, long conversations about how we were going to do it.”

She added, “The audience will judge it in the end, but I think it’s been delicately, thoughtfully recreated. Elizabeth Debicki is an extraordinary actress and she was so thoughtful and considerate. She loved Diana. There’s a huge amount of respect from us all, I hope that’s evident.”

13 cast members will return and four new stars will join the historical drama for its sixth season. Find out who!
