The Exorcist getting the ax over at Fox freed up actor Ben Daniels, who has now signed on to play Antony Armstrong-Jones opposite Helena Bonham Carter in the third season of Netflix's royal drama, The Crown. Daniels replaces Matthew Goode as the photographer and royal husband to Princess Margaret (Carter) when the series returns in 2019.
