Movies Re: Downton Abbey is Back Season 7 Filming Begins & THIRD Movie in The Works

Downton Abbey is Back! Filming Begins on New Series a THIRD Movie is Also in The Works

The first two films raked in a whopping £220million at the box office


MailOnline 8 MAR 2024










Downton Abbey is set to return for a third movie after the first two flicks totalled a whopping £220million at the Box Office.



The ITV drama series debuted in 2010 and ran until 2015, with the first of the two films being released in 2019.


However just weeks after the Mail revealed there would be a seventh series of the show after eight years away, The Sun has reported that filming is also scheduled to begin on a third film.

The same cast and behind-the-scenes team are set to make a return to set in Highclere Castle, Hampshire, where the new movie will pick up from where the second ended - in the late 1920s.

The film, made by Carnival Films, should see the whole cast return, which is something that had supposedly been a logistical challenge.

'There has been endless speculation about whether there would be a third movie and when it would be released, but finally devotees have had their prayers answered,' and insider told the publication.

'The first two films proved such a success that a third one seemed inevitable, but the biggest problem was the logistics of bringing the cast back together as their diaries are all so packed.'

The sequel is said to be beginning filming in summer, set for an international release in 2025.

MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.

It comes after the Mail exclusively revealed in February that filming had secretly started on a new series of Downton Abbey.

The period drama – the last episode of which was aired a little over eight years ago – is making a surprise comeback in a seventh series.

Bosses hoped to be able to bring back some of the big name actors such as Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Elizabeth McGovern and Joanne Froggatt who appeared in the previous six seasons and two movie spin-offs.

While it is not known if all of them have signed up, chiefs are said to be 'thrilled' with their casting.







The return of the show, which was filmed at Highclere Castle in Hampshire and which covered the many societal changes and world events between 1912 and 1928, is expected to be on screen at the end of the year.
