“The Crown” will give viewers a glimpse into the doomed relationship between Diana, Princess of Wales, and Egyptian department store heir Dodi Fayed that ended in their tragic deaths.
“The Kite Runner” star Khalid Abdalla has been cast as Dodi, who will play opposite Elizabeth Debicki (“Tenet”) in the highly-anticipated fifth season of the show.
Salim Daw (“Oslo”) has also been cast as Dodi’s father, billionaire and former Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed.
Although the producers aren’t giving away any storylines, the casting suggests viewers will get a glimpse into the last months of Diana’s life.
