The research presented in this paper is entitled Translation Shifts in The Crown Netflix Series. The primary objective of this study is to identify the various types of translation shifts and assess the functional equivalence of these shifts within the context of The Crown Netflix series. A qualitative method has been employed to analyze the data, which consists of ten episodes from a single season. The data collection process focused on the examination of subtitles accompanying each episode. Catford's shift theory and Nida and Taber's functional equivalence theory serve as the theoretical frameworks for this research. Catford's theory classifies translation shifts into two main categories: level shift and category shift, divided into structure shift, unit shift, class shift, and intrasystem shift. On the other hand, Nida and Taber propose two types of functional equivalence: formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence. The findings of the data analysis revealed a total of 100 instances of data-level shifts. Among the category shifts, structure shift accounted for 120 instances, class shift for 40 instances, unit shift for 100 instances, and intrasystem shift for 60 instances. Concerning functional equivalence, formal equivalence emerges as the most prevalent type among the identified translation shifts in this research.
