Downton Abbey fan favourite rumoured to star in own show with House of Dragon actress in lead role


Rumours of a Downton Abbey spin-off have emerged, with it being reported that the show's creators are looking at creating a series all about Lady Violet Crawley

Lady Violet Crawley has remained a firm favourite among Downton Abbey fans over the years, so many will be thrilled to hear rumours of a prequel series focusing on the character. Dame Maggie Smith, 89, has portrayed Lady Violet until now, but the proposed series will focus on her younger years - and the actresses who are being eyed up for the role have already been revealed.
