'Downton Abbey' creator confirms he'll be working on a sequal to the movie!

While it has only been a few months since fans were treated to the return of the beloved period drama Downton Abbey in feature-length form, word around the manor is a sequel is on the way!

When the long-running series left our screens in 2016, fans of Downton Abbey were delighted to see all of our favourites characters from the original TV show, including Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville), Violet Crawley (Maggie Smith), Mary Crawley (Michelle Dockery), Anna Bates (Joanne Froggatt) and Cora Crawley (Elizabeth McGovern), returned to the big screen.

The film - which was set in 1927; roughly 18 months after the TV series finished - followed the residents as they face a new crisis: the impending visit of King George V and Queen Mary.

And now, Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes has revealed he will start working on a sequel to the feature film once he’s finished scripting HBO drama The Gilded Age.

When asked when he would start writing the sequel, he said: "Not until I’ve finished the scripts for The Gilded Age."

All we can say is BRING IT ON!
