    AceShowbiz – Gillian Anderson is thrilled to be part of a series like “Sex Education” that allows those “questioning their sexuality” to express themselves.
    The actress, who plays a sex therapist on the hit Netflix program, was drawn to the show because of the boundaries it pushes when it comes to tackling sensitive and taboo subject matters.
    “It makes it okay to be who you are, however you are,” she tells Deadline. “The fact that kids who are questioning their sexuality, or have other questions they’re curious about, can watch it, often with their parents, is beautiful.”
    The 51-year-old adds that the diverse cast on the show has also resonated with viewers, which took her some time to appreciate.
    “I’m not even sure I realized the extent to which it does that until after I’d seen it,” she admits. “You can read so much on a page, and then the minute you start seeing all of the fabulously diverse faces, and really commit to all the different storylines and the diverse dilemmas, you realize how unique and embracing the show actually is.”

      AceShowbiz – “The Crown” has always stunned viewers with the amazing casting and styling that makes its cast members perfectly look like the real-life version of the characters they are playing. Recently, Gillian Anderson caught many fans by surprise after photos of her on the set of the Netflix show’s season 4.
      In the new set photos, which were posted by Digital Spy on Tuesday, February 4, Gillian could be seen decked out in appropriate clothing as her character, Margaret Thatcher. Her outfit included a gray padded shoulder suit and puffy barnet.
      Her hair was also styled in short wavy locks, eerily similar to what that the Conservative Prime Minister, who ran the United Kingdom between 1979 and 1990, had at that time. The set photos are from a scene depicting the moment Thatcher, whose nickname was “The Iron Lady”, addressed the press shortly before being elected in 1979.

      The former “The X-Files” star was announced to be playing Thatcher back in September 2019. “I am so excited to be joining the cast and crew of ‘The Crown’ and to have the opportunity to portray such a complicated and controversial woman,” Anderson expressed her excitement in a statement. “Thatcher was undoubtedly formidable but I am relishing exploring beneath the surface and, dare I say, falling in love with the icon who, whether loved or despised, defined an era.”
      While “The Crown” is among the popular series on the streaming giant, the series will end with season 5. Show creator Peter Morgan confirmed the devastating news last week, saying in a statement, “At the outset I had imagined The Crown running for six seasons but now that we have begun work on the stories for season five it has become clear to me that this is the perfect time and place to stop,” he explained.
      “I’m grateful to Netflix and Sony for supporting me in this decision,” he added, before adding that Imelda Staunton would be taking over the role of the Queen Elizabeth II from Olivia Colman in season 5. “I’m absolutely thrilled to confirm Imelda Staunton as Her Majesty The Queen for the fifth and final season, taking The Crown into the 21st Century. Imelda is an astonishing talent and will be a fantastic successor to Claire Foy and Olivia Colman.”
      Season 4, which also stars Emma Corrin as Princess Diana, is set to premiere in late 2020 on Netflix.
