Producers plan to cast new actors for the third series of the Royal saga. A total of six series are planned.
Competition is already heating up for stars to play the Queen for the years 1965 to 1985, with Emily Watson, Rachel Weisz and Kate Beckinsale among those tipped for the role.
Foy leads an army of British stars vying for honours at the 74th annual Golden Globes in Los Angeles.
Among those hoping for success are Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie for The Night Manager – but they do not anticipate a sequel to the spy drama.
The series is adapted from John le Carré’s novel.
Laurie, 57, explained: ‘John le Carré has yet to write another novel, so in cold, practical terms, we are done.’
