‘Downton Abbey’ creator planning for Series 6

Posted Filed under

Writer Julian Fellowes has revealed that he expects Downton Abbey to return for a sixth series.

Series 5’s eight episodes will air this autumn, followed by a feature-length special at Christmas, but Series 6 has not yet been confirmed by ITV.

Fellowes told Harper’s Bazaar: “I would be amazed if there wasn’t another series after [Series 5].”

Guest stars confirmed for Series 5 include Richard E. Grant, Anna Chancellor and Rade Sherbedgia, Dame Harriet Walter and Peter Egan. The Royle Family actress Sue Johnston is also joining the cast as Lady’s Maid to Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham.
