Channel 4’s ‘The Windsors’ To Return With King Charles Coronation Parody Channel 4 Harry Enfield comedy The Windsors is to return after three years to parody King Charles’ Coronation later this year.

Enfield’s King Charles character will take center stage as the UK’s first coronation in 70 years approaches. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are concentrating on life in California but pondering whether to fly over for the big day, while Prince William is focusing on the UK’s cost-of-living crisis.

Produced by Noho Film & TV, The Windsors aired for three seasons on Channel 4 from 2016 to 2020. “Any channel worth its salt has a landmark show with the word coronation in the title,” said Joe Hullait, Channel 4 Comedy Commissioning Executive. “For the BBC it was the world’s first televised Coronation in 1953.

For ITV it’s the world’s longest running soap Coronation Street. We at Channel 4 are delighted to announce that we now have our own record-breaking Coronation jewel at the heart of our broadcasting crown: the funniest show on telly during a momentously historic week for Britain.” The Coronation will take place in May. ‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ Producer The Garden Signs COO Squid Game: The Challenge producer The Garden has hired Fiona Freed as Chief Operating Officer.
