The death of Queen Elizabeth II has put many things on a brief pause, including production on the Netflix series The Crown.

Deadline reported Thursday that Peter Morgan, the writer and creator of the Emmy-winning period drama, expects to temporarily suspend production on Season 6 "out of respect" for the royal family's loss.
