'Downton Abbey' Season 6 & Series Finale: Movie Happening, Producer, Actress Tease Film Plans

The final series of "Downton Abbey" wrapped up on British television Sunday night. The well-loved popular show ran for six seasons. Amidst news of its culmination, there's buzz that it is set to come to the big screen next.

Express reported that speculations for a "Downton Abbey" movie have been in the grapevine for quite some time, yet nothing has been set. The news outlet recently spoke with one of the show's stars, who hinted that an adaptation of the TV series to movies is highly likely.

"It would be tough getting everyone together for another season but it isn't hard for a film because you are not all in the same bits. So it should be OK," said Lesley Nichol who played the cook Mrs. Patmore. She also told Express that the show's lead stars, Hugh Bonneville and Michelle Dockery, are willing to do a movie. However, there could be some hitches to the actual production.

Nichol's is referring to "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes' very busy schedule. Per Behind the Velvet Rope, he's set to do "School of Rock" on Broadway and he's already committed to "The Gilded Age" for U.S. television. The scribe may have no time to write the script for the "Downton Abbey" movie.

On the other hand, "Downton Abbey" producer Gareth Neame spoke with Radio Times about the rumored film spinoff. "We've thrown around some ideas for a film, but that's obviously not something I can talk about now," Neame said. "It's still a possibility - I can't confirm any definite plans, but it is still something we're talking about, and we would be interested to do."

Neame also shared that he liked the idea of a show centered on the younger kids - George, Sybbie and Marigold. However, he clarified that there's no actual plan to do a story about this.

Meanwhile, fans of the show could still have one last look at the Crawleys and their servants when it airs its annual Christmas special, which runs separate from the series. There are already hints a vital character could die, per Metro.

Maggie Smith's Dowager Countess is the oldest character on the show and could breathe her last on the Christmas Day episode. The actress earlier expressed it's the natural progression for her character. "I mean, I certainly can't keep going. To my knowledge, I must be 110 by now. We're into the late 1920s," she told Variety back in March.

The show may have ended in the United Kingdom but those in the United States will be able to catch Season 6 when it begins airing in January 2016 on PBS, per TV Line.
