Olivia Coleman took the throne in The Crown when it returned for its third season, but what should you watch when you've finished her glorious reign?

Pocket-lint has curated list of recommended shows that should happily sate the appetite of The Crown's loyal subjects when you're stuck inside, from services including Amazon Prime and Netflix to free services like BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub.

Here are some of the best shows to watch if you're a Crown lover.

Peaky Blinders

  • Where: BBC iPlayer / Netflix
  • When: Available now until 24 March

Like The Crown, Peaky Blinders is an epic, historical series based on true events. However, the drama about a Birmingham gang is heavily fictionalised too, which makes it compelling viewing. Cillian Murphy is superb as Thomas Shelby, head of the Peaky Blinders crime syndicate, while Helen McCrory as excels as Aunt Polly. However, for us it is Paul Anderson's portrayal of Arthur Shelby that steals the show.

Season 1 to 4 is available on Netflix and you can watch the latest season - season 5 - on BBC iPlayer until 24 March.

Downton Abbey

  • Where: Amazon Prime Video
  • When: Available now

With six series and a more recent film under its belt, Downton Abbey is more than a historical drama, it is now an institution in its own right. You can catch up with all the episodes and the topsy turvy lives of the Crawley family with an Amazon Prime Video account.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning Amazon show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel returned recently for a third season, so it's a good time to catch up. Set in 1958, it follows upper middle-class go-getter Miriam "Midge" Maisel as she embarks on a stand-up career - but not to everyone's liking.

World on Fire

The Tudors

  • Where: Amazon Prime Video
  • When: Available now

The Tudors is one of the best, grittiest historical dramas to have been made in recent times. Lasting four seasons, every episode is available on Amazon Prime Video for you to binge your way through. A warning though, the action starring Jonathan Rhys Myers (as a young Henry VIII) and Henry Cavill gets a bit spicy at times.
