We might be revisiting the Crawley family, as ITV are reportedly planning a Downton Abbey reboot.
The prestige drama first aired in 2010, and ran for six series.
The series follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their household servants. We see how the family changes throughout huge events in the early 20th century.
While Downton Abbey spawned two films and numerous awards, the series is now reportedly returning to the small screen.
Downton Abbey: new series to return to TV?
The Mail on Sunday reports the production company behind the Golden Globe-winning show is now casting. Execs are also said to be hoping some of the show’s original cast will also be keen to return.
“There is a plan which is in development and there is a lot of excitement about. There is casting taking place, and it would be great if all of the big stars can return,” an insider teased.
“People loved Downton. It became a British institution and it has been much missed since it left our screens. There is huge excitement around this project. It was a Sunday night favourite and got huge viewing figures. There has been very little to compete with it ever since it ended.”
Some of Downton Abbey’s biggest stars included Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern. Dame Maggie Smith also starred.
