This will be the last round for much of the cast, which will change significantly for the fifth season. Fans will have to savor these 10 episodes as the series will be taking a break of two years before the fifth season is rolled out. In that season, Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter) will succeed Olivia Colman in the role of her Majesty the Queen of England.
