Helena Bonham Carter to Play Princess Margaret on 'The Crown'

Helena Bonham Carter is officially playing Princess Margaret on the new season of The Crown!

“I’m not sure which I’m more terrified about—doing justice to the real Princess Margaret or following in the shoes of Vanessa Kirby. The only thing I can guarantee is that I’ll be shorter than Vanessa,” Helena said (via Deadline).

Already announced casting includes Olivia Colman, who will be replacing Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth and Tobias Menzies, who is taking over for Matt Smith as Prince Philip.

The new season will premiere next year.

The show is reportedly “near a deal” to have Helena take on the role in the show’s third season, taking over for Vanessa Kirby, who played Margaret in the first two seasons. Netflix has yet to officially confirm the show’s next season.

“I’m just so excited about whoever gets to do it because they’ve definitely got the coolest stuff coming up. Bring on the drama! I would have loved to have done it. I absolutely love to do all the blazing rows and getting drunk and just all of it. But I suppose I was lucky enough to have two seasons, so I could be more grateful, really,” said Vanessa about the role.

The Crown‘s second season premiered on December 8, 2017.
