And he’s not the only new face this series. He’s joined by Michael C Hall (Dexter) as John F Kennedy, South African actress Jodi Balfour as Jackie Kennedy and Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey) as Lord Snowdon.
Sadly, it’s our last chance to see Claire Foy and Matt Smith in their roles – although we are frightfully excited to see the resplendent Olivia Colman take the Queen into the next phase of her life for season 3. Their pitch-perfect performances have cemented their places as true national treasures (as did their super-stylish appearance on the Golden Globes red carpet).
But the one we’ve all been bowing down to the most in season 2 is Vanessa Kirby (About Time), who has been absolutely stealing the show as the rebellious Princess Margaret.
