Contrary to reports you might have read, Imelda Staunton has not been cast as Queen Elizabeth II for “The Crown” Seasons 5 and 6, according to Netflix.

“We are currently filming season 4 of The Crown but have not commissioned any further seasons as yet, therefore any news on casting remains pure speculation,” a Netflix spokesperson told TheWrap Thursday.

Earlier Thursday, The Daily Mail reported Staunton would be taking over the role from Olivia Colman, who just made her debut as the British royal monarch in the Netflix drama’s third season, which launched Sunday. Colman — who took the part from Claire Foy, who was Elizabeth for the show’s first two seasons — will continue to play the queen through the end of Season 4, at which time Staunton will take over for the next two installments.
