If you’re still mourning the loss of Downton Abbey then you might just be in for some good news, with talks of a movie in the works.
The beloved period drama, which wrapped in 2016 after six seasons, is in talks to be turned into a film – and it could be as soon as this year.
“It’s supposed to be happening – filming – this year, but it hasn’t been locked down yet,” Jeremy Swift, who played butler Septimus Spratt, told ITV’s Lorraine.
“There is a film script which we’ve all been sent but it disappeared in a Mission Impossible-style from our emails. With a little puff.”
While we’re yet to find out if all the key cast members are on board, Carnival Films, the company which produced the drama, have confirmed there is a script in development.
“There are still no firm plans about when a film might go into production,” the company says in a statement to the BBC.
“When the future plans are certain we will of course make an announcement at the relevant time.”
