The New Additions

Audiences might be blown away by the new cast member who will be playing the role of the legendary British prime minister, the Iron Lady herself, Margaret Thatcher. While it seems like a bit of a stretch, we can assure you that Anderson will be having a team of make-up artists to match Miss Thatcher’s slightly plainer looks. While it might a surprise, fans should by now be used to the incredible ensemble of actors, each and every one of them, impeccably portraying real royal family members, their friends, partners, and especially, the politicians of the time.

Britain’s First Female Prime Minister

The great Gillian Anderson will play Margaret Thatcher and her time leading up to the Falklands War. The Conservative Party PM will often be seen in her favorite shade of blue, making front-page worthy political moves. This time was a pivotal moment in politics for the UK and while the people were extremely divided by their leader’s decisions, she is undoubtedly one of the most unforgettable prime ministers that Great Britain ever had. Of course, audiences have been used to seeing Anderson in more comical roles as of late, but it is doubtful that the talented actress will disappoint.

Princess Diana

Newcomer Emma Corrin will be playing the young Princess Diana. The question of who was going to portray her has been the center of debate since the inception of the show. The season will take place between the late 1970s and the late 80s and will focus largely on Prince Charles’ relationship with Lady Diana Spencer.

The Usual Suspects

While the show will be welcoming some “new” faces, audiences can be relieved to know that Olivia Coleman will still be their queen, as well as many of the other castmembers, form the previous season.

The Wisdom Segment

I Bill Murrays birth name is William James Murray. He first became popular on Saturday Night Live, with his performance winning him an Emmy Award. He later starred in movies that became fan favorites, including Ghostbusters in 1984 and Lost in Translation in 2003. While the latter was more of an indie film than a blockbuster, it gained favorable reviews, and perhaps more importantly, Murray says it's his favorite of all his movies.

II Who wouldve thought the lovable and hilarious Bill Murray could have an angry streak? Thats what three of his fans found out when they saw the American actor at a rooftop party back in 2016. They took the liberty of approaching him for a selfie, thinking the friendly comedian wouldnt mind. However, it seems they caught him on the wrong day at the wrong time as Murray reportedly grabbed all three mobile phones and threw them off the roof.

III In 1996 Bill Murray starred as a supporting actor in the sports comedy movie Kingpin. It just so happens that Murray is a pro at bowling, so when it was his characters turn to hit three strikes in a row to win a game, there was no need for a camera trick, nor a double.

IV While studying at Loyola Academy, Murray had to work on the side to support himself. He was a golf caddy for a while, and he was also into music, being the lead singer of a rock band named the Dutch Masters. It may seem out of character for him now, but he also started off studying medicine before deciding to change the course of his education.

V Bill Murrays movie roles are not just hilarious but a bit mischievous too. It turns out that hes also a bit of a troublemaker in real life. He caused some disturbances as a kid, both in his Boy Scout activities and in Little League. He was also convicted after attempting to smuggle cannabis through OHare airport on his birthday.

VI The Murray family is brimming with talent. In fact, it was his big brother, Brian Doyle-Murray, who opened up an opportunity for Bill to perform back in the early 1970s. Brian, who is a screenwriter and comedian, was working at The Second City (Chicago) at the time. Bills other brothers John and Joel Murray are actors as well.
