'Downton Abbey' Could Be Returning To The Silver Screen

A sequel is reportedly in the works - by Danielle Fowler
  • 03 Dec 2019

For those of you who have already devoured season three of The Crown, a Downton Abbey sequel is in the works ready to satisfy your desire for all things period drama.

WATCH BELOW: 'Downton Abbey' 2019 Trailer

According to the The Hollywood Reporter, the beloved television series is busy plotting its return to the silver screen after the 2019 film adaptation grossed $186 million (USD) worldwide.

Gareth Neame, who worked as a producer on both the 20th century-based ITV series and movie, recently teased the news.

"We're having those conversations. We're working on what the story is, and when we might be able to make it," Neame revealed. "But it's the same as the first time around: We have to try to get everyone back together again. And that was very challenging."

Before the film adaptation even graced cinemas across the globe, producer Julian Fellowes hinted that he would consider a second movie if viewers relished the silver screen treatment.

"I just feel I have to wait for the public's response to the movie and see, did they really like it? Has it gone well?" he said at the time. "It's a combination of the [box office, audience buzz] all of it, to be honest, and then you get a picture of whether this movie landed. I think you can get a sense of whether it worked or not. And if we do get that sense, then we will have that conversation."

After a plethora of rave reviews, it seems that conversation is now taking place.

"We started vaguely thinking about it before the release of the movie," Naeme added.

"But we were kind of holding our breath. The reaction to the film, the press tour in the US and the build-up to release were so strong that we'd been thinking about it. And then it was clear from the first weekend that this was worth taking very seriously."

There's good news for The Crown fans too, as Naeme also teased the idea of a crossover between the shows - crediting Downton Abbey for the Netflix drama's rise to cult status.

"It's not conceivable that Netflix would have spent the kind of money they spend on The Crown without seeing the legs that Downton Abbey had around the world and the appetite for this kind of very British content," he said.

"So I think Downton opened the door for shows like The Crown, but also raised the bar for the value of high-end British content around the world."

A few leading members of the cast have already expressed their desire to return for the franchise.

Laura Carmicheal, who plays the role of Lady Edith Crawley, previously said: "We love making the show so I hope people enjoy it. It would be really cool to make another."
