In two short years, The Crown has become one of the most successful shows on television.

短短两年内，《王冠》就成为电视上最成功的美剧之一。

The costly biographical retelling of Queen Elizabeth II's life - from her marriage to Prince Philip right through to her present-day reign - will continue with a third season that is currently being filmed.

这部耗资巨大的传记片讲述了女王伊丽莎白二世的一生，从她与菲利普亲王的婚姻一直到她现在的统治。目前，第三季正在拍摄。
