Gillian Anderson Transforms Into Margaret Thatcher in New Crown Trailer

As the reign of Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) reaches the end of the 1970s, she becomes acquainted with the new Prime Minister of England: Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson), whose ruthlessness would earn her the moniker "The Iron Lady"  

In this just-released trailer, the Queen offers her counsel. "It's a dangerous game to make enemies left, right, and center." Thatcher's steely response. "What if one is comfortable with having enemies?" 

We also see more of Emma Corrin as Diana Spencer, and her tensions with the royal family. In time, it seems, she will either give up her fight and bend... or she will break.

Season 4 of The Crown premieres November 15 on Netflix.
