After two seasons of Claire Foy playing Queen Elizabeth II in the period drama The Crown, Olivia Colman takes over for season three, which will follow the queens reign from the late 60s to the late 70s. Tobias Menzies will be playing her husband Prince Philip, while Helena Bonham Carter will take on the role of her sister Princess Margaret. This was an eventful decade for the monarch, as England went through dramatic cultural changes and labor strife, at the same time that the young Prince Charles began preparing under intense public scrutiny for the job of one day replacing his mother.

The Irishman stars Robert De Niro as a contract killer looking back on his life and reconsidering his associations with a notorious mobster (played by Joe Pesci) and with the labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino). Directed by Martin Scorsese (from a Steven Zaillian screenplay, adapting the Charles Brandt novel I Heard You Paint Houses), this movie is a decades-spanning reflection on American crime, with cutting-edge digital de-aging technology used to make the characters look era-appropriate. The film is also an elegiac genre piece, made by the modern masters of the gangster picture, and is Netflixs most high-profile attempt yet to compete with the traditional Hollywood studios.

Based on a novel by Guillaume Laurant (best-known for co-writing the movie Amlie), the animated feature I Lost My Body is imaginatively fantastical and poignant, telling the story of a North African immigrant looking for love and personal purpose in Paris. The story is told mostly in flashback, narrated by the heros severed hand, as it crawls across the city, looking for its original owner. Part action-adventure and part low-key character sketch, this is a cartoon like no other.
