Downton Abbey's next series may be its last , hints Julia Fellowes

The creator of Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes, has hinted that the hit show's next series could be its last.

The ITV drama, telling the story of the aristocratic Crawley family, is to return to screens later this year for the fifth series since its debut in 2010.

But Fellowes has been commissioned to write a new US drama called The Gilded Age and has said in an interview that work on the programme would not start until Downton had come to an end.

Fellowes told the Wall Street Journal: "It's for NBC Universal and it will happen when Downton finishes because I just couldn't do both at once.

"I haven't written it yet, but it's about the old aristocracy, the Winthrops and the Stuyvesants and the new money of oil and gas and shipping in the 1870s. It will all be fiction – it won't be real people – but when those families descended on New York, they took over."

The writer reassured fans that there would be a fifth series of Downton, but added: "I don't know yet if there is a season six, but it's not going to go on for ever. It won't be Perry Mason."

He also speculated that if the Crawleys had been a real family, they would have still been running the estate today – albeit in a more businesslike way.
