Who composed the score for seasons 3 through 6 of The Crown?

Who composed the score for seasons 3 through 6 of The Crown? Martin Phipps composed the score for seasons 3 through 6.

Phipps took over as the principal series composer when The Crown moved into its later historical period. His work accompanied the seasons covering the 1960s through the early 2000s, as the drama moved from Elizabeth II’s middle reign into the crises and political changes of the late twentieth century.

The composer credit is easy to confuse because several major musicians are associated with the show. Rupert Gregson-Williams composed the score for the first season and much of the second, while Lorne Balfe also contributed during season 2. Hans Zimmer composed the show’s famous main theme, but he was not the principal score composer for seasons 3 through 6.

Phipps is a British composer known for film and television work, including scores that balance orchestral writing with modern textures. His Crown music therefore belongs to the series’ changing musical identity, rather than being the original theme itself.
