Certainly, there are a number of routes a potential\u00a0Downton Abbey\u00a03 could take should Fellowes decide to pen another. With the plot having moved on from 1912 when the series started to 1928 in the second movie, Fellowes continues to have a wealth of history to surround Downton Abbey in. There was the hardship of the Great Depression that could be explored, or perhaps more historical figures like King George V in the first film could be introduced.<\/p>\n
The 1930s saw Winston Churchill in his wilderness years, so maybe he could end up visiting Downton. Then there was the year of the three Kings in 1936 to consider too. And let\u2019s not forget the rise of Fascism in Western Europe and the Second World War looming in 1939; although perhaps we\u2019ll have to wait for Downton Abbey 4 or 5 for that.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, we may not even get there as rumours abound that Downton Abbey could be returning to TV instead.<\/p>\n

There is casting taking place, and it would be great if all of the big stars can return. People loved Downton. It became a British institution and it has been much missed since it left our screens.<\/p>\n \u201cThere 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.” Of course, all this should be taken with a pinch of salt as ITV said no talks have taken place.<\/p>\n Downton Abbey left our TV screens in 2015, but a small-screen revival would certainly be welcome, even alongside a third movie.<\/p>\n
