Downton Abbey will be hitting out screens in 2014
for the shows 5th series, after pulling in an average of 11.8
million viewers it became the highest rated drama on television this year.
ITV’s Director of Drama Commissioning, Steve
November responded.
“We are enormously happy to have Downton
Abbey on ITV and
we are delighted to be announcing this new series. With Julian writing and
Gareth and Liz producing we know it will be as warm, witty, romantic and
dramatic as previous series and we can't wait to catch up with our favourite
characters again.”
The now globally successful series, made by
Carnival Films will again be written by Julian Fellowes and is sure to be
packed full of the riveting storylines fans have come to love and expect.
Don’t worry though, you won’t have to wait that
long before you get your next Downton fix, the show will return on Christmas
day with a two hour feature length episode. Shirley MacLaine will reprise her
role as Martha Levison and Paul Giamatti will join the talented cast as Cora’s
playboy brother Harold. The Christmas specials are renowned for its big storylines
(and usually a heartbreaking death) so it’s going to be unmissable.
The series 4 DVD is out now featuring all the
episodes plus 3 new exclusive features delving into the making of Downton
Abbey.
