As Netflix’s first original show produced and filmed in the U.K., The Crown has been in the habit of breaking records and setting precedent for prestige television since the day it debuted in November of 2016. Six seasons, 60 episodes, and 341 award nominations (and counting) later, the dynastic series has earned millions of fans and proved what TV craftsmanship can be, at its best.

The Crown revisits some of the past century’s most pivotal cultural and political moments: from Queen Elizabeth’s coronation, Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher’s tenures as prime ministers, and multiple diplomatic conflicts to the coming of age of Will, Kate, and Harry’s new royal generation and the public’s shifting relationship to the monarchy. 

The series is so engrossing that it’s sent fans en masse to learn more about the real-life happenings depicted in the show. In a phenomenon now dubbed “The Crown effect,” many of its figures and historical events have experienced a surge in search traffic, in some instances spiking activity by as much as five thousand percent. The Crown’s offscreen power doesn’t stop there. Thanks to Peter Morgan’s show, corgis are no longer considered threatened, with the series boosting interest in the breed by 22 percent.

“I’m stunned,” Morgan says. “But we did exactly what we said we were going to do, and we got to the end somehow.” Here are a few of the astounding figures behind the series’ six remarkable seasons.
