Downton Abbey's Greatest Mystery Was Never Solved
Downton Abbey Season 2's mystery had huge implications for who would inherit the estate and win the hand of Lady Mary. But who was Patrick?There had been rumors of Downton Abbey returning, possibly with a third feature film or a seventh season of the TV series. In March, Lady Maud Bagshaw actor Imelda Staunton shared on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Zoe Ball that there "will be the final film," suggesting that a third movie was in the works to close out the franchise. In 2023, Fellowes had teased that he hadn't closed the door on doing more with Downton Abbey.
Julian Fellowes Hadn't Closed the Door on Downton Abbey
"I have said goodbye to Downton so many times, and I have written the last scene about six or seven times,” he said, per The Sun. “Now, I've got out of the habit of making permanent statements about whether it's gone... It just gives me a lot of pleasure that so many people enjoyed it, so to feel that you created a show that cheers people up and they had a good time with it, I love that."
Downton Abbey 3 doesn't yet have a release date.
