Carnival’s Managing Director, Gareth Neame said:

“We have had an amazing reaction to the story lines, acting and production values of Downton Abbey this year and the whole team is thrilled to be moving ahead with a new season of the show. This will provide audiences with a fresh opportunity to see what will befall our much loved characters.”

ITV’s Director of Drama Commissioning, Steve November said,

“It is fantastic that Downton continues to be such a phenomenon – still the most popular drama on ITV in its fifth series – and we are thrilled to have commissioned a sixth series. We don’t know yet what Julian has planned, but we are looking forward to working with him, the fantastic cast and Carnival again and have no doubt series six will be unmissable.”

I have been watching it since season 1 and I love it I especially live the 1920’s. And the dresses that the women wear and also the hats. My grandmother got married in that error.

Watching Downton Abbey is like reading an old classic novel……..its so refreshing from all the other “shows” that are on tv ….it may not be for everyone but it is amazing to watch a period drama. I especially loved it wen they showed the hair curler mary got n the electric mixer Mrs patmore was afraid to use

I find the shows drag, poor repetitive old story lines. Come on is Fellows so insecure he has to let Isis die? I have watched from the beginning and never knew his name. Call him Icee and get over it, it’s from mythology. Glad to see it go, it has no place to go anymore. Far better Brit shows on TV and Acorn.

I love “Downton Abbey;” and personally, I hope Julien Fellowes and company can continue the show for several more seasons. I appreciate his dedication to making Downton a fictionalized account of the early decades of the twentieth century. I would love for the show (maybe with the cast changing as the years pass as the newer “Upstairs, Downstairs” did) to last long enough to go through the 1930s with the Great Depression, into the 1940s with Britain’s role in WW2, and possibly into the 1950s when these great houses like Downton faced the economics of modern living.

Downton Abbey is better than the junk the networks are showing Sunday night.

EXCELLENT! Great way to start the new year here. I have Downton on DVD’s and have recently been replaying the first year, enjoying little tidbits I missed the first time round. Looking forward to the new episodes of this first class series!
