Downton Abbey series five could be the last, according to the show’s creator Julian Fellowes. The hit period drama, which has been a mainstay of autumn Sunday nights in ITV’s schedule since it began in 2010, will not “go on forever” according to Fellowes, and will have to end before he begins his new project in the US, The Gilded Age. "It's for NBC Universal and it will happen when Downton finishes because I just couldn't do both at once,” he told the Wall Street Journal. "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." And although Fellowes was happy to confirm series five of the show was still going ahead in autumn 2014, he was not willing to commit beyond that, suggesting the next series could be the last. "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." Downton Abbey, which stars Dame Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville and Michelle Dockery amongst an ensemble cast, was last on British screens for a feature length special on Christmas Day. It will return for its fifth series on ITV, and PBS Masterpiece in America in 2014.

Downton Abbey to be axed after series 5? Julian Fellowes hints that the next series could be the last for the ITV period drama

We filmed an interview with the Downton exec producer yesterday - and asked him why it was such a global success. I thought it might be of interest to Downton fans!

Thank you so much for sharing here! When was this interview?

Earlier this week, comments from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes suggested that the show could end after season 5. Not so, says executive producer Gareth Neame. “I can confirm that there are no plans to end the show after the fifth series,” Neame said in a statement released to the media. “ITV commission each series on a year-by-year basis. In an interview given to The Wall Street Journal (published December 31, 2013), Julian Fellowes stated that the show would not go on forever (inevitable of course and something both he and I have been on the record for previously). For now ITV have commissioned series five and that is what we are busy preparing.” While this doesn’t mean for sure that the show will continue into season 6 and beyond, it’s better news than hearing the show could end after season 5. In previous interviews, Neame said that Downton Abbey would run for five or six seasons in total. Given that the show has been rising in the ratings (season 4 premiered this past Sunday in the U.S. to a record number of viewers), it’ll be hard for ITV to not commission additional seasons so long as demand is there. Then again, cast members may want to move on to other projects like Dan Stevens, Siobhan Finneran, and Jessica Brown Findlay have all done. Fellowes made comments about a possible ending because he said he has a show for NBC in the works that he can’t start on until Downton Abbey ends.
