While it may seem like a surprise for Colman to appear in bothThe BearandThe Crown, which are thematically opposite series, it makes sense considering her awards history and both of the shows' critical acclaim.

At this point, it would be pretty shocking if Colman did not get an Emmy nomination for her role inThe Bear, which would hopefully inspire a more consistent role in future seasons.
