Downton Abbey to make 'surprise return' with filming 'already underway'


Beloved period drama Downton Abbey is reportedly set to make a return to TV, with filming said to already be getting underway on the popular show's surprise return

The show, which was previously filmed at the lavish Highclere Castle in Hampshire, followed the aristocratic Crawley family, and their servants, throughout the societal changes and world events of the 1910s and 20s. "Those working on the set have been made to sign non-disclosure agreements so that they don't give the game away but there is a lot of excitement at the return of Downton. Dame Maggie Smith also made a return to the role of Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, in 2022, but the movie saw her character pass away after falling ill.
