Netflix, the television giant also responsible for Jessica Jones (the Marvel series starring David Tennant), has released a teaser for their upcoming show, The Crown… and the Internet’s going wild for Matt Smith as the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip!

The Eleventh Doctor star goes blonde and marries the Queen. Basically.

Frankly, it’s great seeing Matt bring his typical charm, charisma, and edge to another role. This looks like a major part for him, and Whovians who miss him in their favourite show (myself included) are bound to enjoy seeing him back on the box.

The Crown is a Netflix-exclusive 10-part series charting the monarchy during the 2oth Century, focusing primarily on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, played by Claire Foy. You’ll also see John Lithgow as Sir Winston Churchill, Dame Eileen Atkins as Queen Mary, and Greg Wise as Lord Mountbatten.

The show is written by Peter Morgan (The Damned United), and Season 1 airs later this year.
