I haven’t caught on to the wonder that is this fabulous export, but according to reports this evening, ITV have officially commissioned a fifth series of the popular period drama Downton Abbey. The series will begin shooting in 2014 for an air date later next year.
The show, which is written by Julian Fellowes, has proven to be extremely popular in the United States where it airs on PBS, is has also gone down well on home turf, pulling in 10 million plus viewers every week on ITV1.
The fourth season concluded here this evening, but a Christmas episode planned for the festive period. US viewers will be able to view the fourth season from the 5th January 2014.
Fellowes will return to pen the new series.
