The Crown fans are going to love new comedy series The Prince

From Cosmopolitan

If you've managed to binge-watch season 4 of The Crown in a single sitting (no judgement here) then we've got just the show for you to devour next. The Prince is a new animated comedy series written by Gary Janetti, who has already made his name writing for hit shows including Family Guy and Will & Grace. He's also amassed a serious following on Insta (900k+) where he posts Prince George memes, which we're guessing may have inspired his latest HBO Max show.


What's The Prince About?

The Prince is, funnily enough, expected to follow young Prince George as he navigates life as heir to the British throne. The official synopsis reads:

"Before George rules Britannia, he’ll be laying down his own laws in Janetti’s comedic take on the future King of England’s childhood as seen from the prince’s own point of view. Because his succession isn’t coming any time soon, in each episode George will find his path in life as a young prince in modern times — from the 775 rooms of Buckingham Palace to his family’s sea of corgis to primary school with commoners.

"The Prince also features notable characters in George’s life such as his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, his fourth-in-line-for-the-throne little sister Charlotte, his modern Aunt Meghan and Uncle Harry, his great-granddad Philip, and—who can forget—his Gan Gan Elizabeth."

Is there a trailer for The Prince?

Not exactly. But you can watch this hilarious preview that Gary recently posted on Instagram. I feel an obsession coming on.

Who will star in The Prince?

This is where it gets really exciting. While Gary himself will be voicing Prince George, he'll be joined by none other than Orlando Bloom voicing Prince Harry and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner voicing Princess Charlotte.

Other confirmed cast members include Alan Cumming as Prince George's butler, Condola Rashad as Meghan Markle, Lucy Punch as Kate Middleton, Frances De La Tour as Queen Elizabeth and Iwan Rheon as Prince William.

When is The Prince on TV?

The series has not announced whether it will be aired by a UK broadcaster yet (fingers crossed!) Nor does it have an official air date yet. We'll let you know as soon as it does.
