The Netflix series, now in its second season, centers on a young Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family. One of the figures in the series is Elizabeth’s uncle, the former King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne in 1936 and was ostracized by the family. “What we have here is a fantastic family saga,” Morgan says. “And no family is complete without an embarrassing uncle, and [Edward] is the ultimate embarrassing uncle.” Morgan also wrote the screenplays for the films ‘Frost/Nixon’ and ‘The Queen.’ Also, John Powers reviews the second installment of ‘American Crime Story’ with ‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace.’
