The 118-day-long wait ended when the SAG-AFTRA national board approved the deal by 86%. The acceptance paved the way for the actors, eagerly waiting to get back to work. Just days after the historic win, Netflix took the very first step of premiering its hit show, The Crown season 6. The much-anticipated finale is going to give a closer look at Princess Diana’s shocking demise. With the tale of the former Princess of Wales, the Netflix Original will end the tale of the royal family as well.

The premiere unwittingly became a hit when Netflix’s CEO, Ted Sarandos, stepped foot on the blue carpet at the event, where he shared his true feelings about the show and the end of strikes.

Ted Sarandos, who played a major role in negotiations with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, marked his first night out at the British royal drama’s premiere in LA since long. While enjoying the pleasant night, he talked to Deadline about his feelings about the premiere and the end of the strikes. Sarandos excitedly admitted it was thrilling “to be back and thrilled to have everybody back”, as it was the first major premiere by the studio in the past 6 months with writers and actors.

The 59-year-old CEO also expressed his optimism about the finalization of the SAG-AFTRA deals. However, apart from talking about the end of strikes, he also applauded the show.

Not only the CEO and other executives, but also all the cast members of the series happily embraced the energy of the event. Music composer Martin Phipps recalled how he created mournful tunes, capturing the emotions surrounding Princess Diana’s death on the show.

The journey of creating emotional music for the season finale

To ignite the aimed emotions in the viewers’ hearts, music plays an important role. Therefore, to accurately translate all the shock and sadness into music, Phipps worked extremely hard. He pointed specifically to the 4th episode where everything was mute and dull. The music composer tried to capture that shocking silence to deliver the intended stimulation via music.

Praising the actors and directors, Phipps pointed out the contrast in music to get to the depth of the moment accurately. Well, along with the style of the royal family, the show also took care of the viewers’ emotions. Fans can dive deep into the story from the 16th of November with the landing of the first 4 episodes. However, the remaining ones will land on the 14th of December.
