After season four debuted last year, fans will now have to wait until 2022 for the next installment of the hit series, however, this isn’t the first time that they have kept fans waiting as there was a two-year wait between season two and three also.

Netflix announced back in January that season five of the series would be scrapped, however, it has now been confirmed that fans can look forward to one more season after season five.

“As we started to discuss the storylines for Series five, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons,” Peter Morgan, the show’s creator and writer, said in a statement in July.
