BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — With “Downton Abbey” coming to an end, its executive producer is offering hope that a follow-up movie is at least a possibility.
By ending the TV drama several years shy of the 1929 stock market crash, producer Gareth Neame says rich territory is left to be mined if a film is made.
He told TV critics Saturday that it’s been discussed, but there’s no script or a firm plan. He didn’t specify if it might be a TV or big-screen project.
Neame says a “Downtown Abbey” movie could be a “wonderful thing.”
The series about the upstairs and downstairs occupants of a stately English home will end production Aug. 15.
Its sixth and final season will air later this year in the U.K. and in early 2016 in the United States.
