“Downton’s popularity as a film has been phenomenal. “It took £60million in America alone and has been a roaring success. Julian and the team are over the moon with how it played out. No one expected it would be this big. “The commercial viability of a second film is now a dead cert, so Julian has been told to start putting pen to paper on the follow-up.”
The historical drama originally ran for six seasons from 2010 and 2015. And then last summer, a little more than three years after Downton's doors closed, it was announced a film adaptation was on the way - much to fans' delight.
Producer Liz Trubridge previously told Her a second film would be possible as "there are other stories to tell here".
She said:
"It's a horrible cliché to say, but we genuinely have all become a family - we've been together for so long now, and it was great to come back together. "There are other stories to tell here, and of course - yeah, I think we would all be up for doing another one if it was right. But right now, I just want to make sure this one is received well - and if it is, it'd be great to do another one. "It's something, I think, that we'd all love to do."
