Report claims actor Anthony Head confirmed for new Netflix series 'The Crown: Next Generation' — but it's fake.
A viral social media post is circulating that claims Anthony Head, best known for playing Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has been cast as a new monarch in a spinoff series called "The Crown: Next Generation" on Netflix. The story says Head will portray "King George VI in a flash-forward timeline," but this is entirely fabricated. No such spinoff has been announced by Netflix or Left Bank Pictures, and no casting listing for Anthony Head exists. The misleading post originated from a fan-made teaser and has been debunked by multiple fact-checking sites. Do not share this as real news.
