But don't go hunting for spoilers, the season has already aired in the U.K.
The program is said to be one of Queen Elizabeth's favorite shows.
While on the set of The Crown (on which he will play a young Prince Charles), Josh O'Connor, who plays Larry in The Durrells was speaking with a crew member about The Durrells.
Somewhere in the conversation, O'Connor stopped listening. "Previously, they had taken a photo of me [dressed as Prince Charles] and sent it to someone, who’d sent it to someone else, who’d then sent it to someone else. As they were explaining it, I’d lost interest about who’d the photo had been sent to... The crew member said that someone who saw the picture told him, 'I loved him in The Durrells, it’s one of my favorite shows.' I just said, 'Oh, that’s good,' thanked him and walked off."
What O'Connor didn't realize was that the crew was talking about Queen Elizabeth.
"This crew member has managed to get this picture of me to the Queen who’d said that she loved me in The Durrells! The real life Queen!" he said. "So we have another fan! It was a great thing for us. We were so pleased."
