Can you believe it's almost two years since we first saw The Hot Priest on our screens in Fleabag? No, we can't either to be honest. But, two years on, we have some very exciting/troubling/however-you-want-to-look-at-it TV news, according to reports, Andrew Scott has been approached to play Tony Blair in the next series of The Crown.
Thinking about it, we can now see the resemblance. And Andrew, 44, would be the perfect age to play the former prime minister, who was 43 in 1997 when he won the general election in a landslide victory against John Major.
'This role is one of the most anticipated castings on The Crown,' a source told The Sun. 'The final series covers the Prime Minister’s epic clash with the Queen over her response to the death of Diana in 1997. So the creators wanted an adaptable actor like Andrew who has proved he can master the charm and intimidating presence that typified Blair.'
However, we can't get our hopes up too much. According to the MailOnline, Andrew's agent has said he's busy when the fifth series of the Netflix hit is being filmed. 'Andrew is “unavailable” for the current filming dates so he would have to shuffle his schedules to make The Crown role work,' they said.
Anyway, what we do know about series five is that the Queen will be played by Imelda Staunton, taking the reign from Olivia Colman, and Elizabeth Debicki will replace Emma Corrin as Princess Diana. Dominic West is also rumoured to be taking over the role of Prince Charles from Josh O'Connor. Filming is believed to begin in July.
