'Downton Abbey' creator to work on film's sequel post 'The Gilded Age' shoot

Julian Fellowes, the creator of popular British period drama "Downton Abbey", says a follow-up to the show's film adaptation will be in the works once he has finished writing "The Gilded Age".

Fellowes said he is currently in the pre-production stage for the long-gestating drama series for HBO and expects to shoot later this year, reported Deadline.

Asked when he would start writing a movie sequel, he quipped, "Give us a break, gov. Not until I've finished the scripts for 'The Gilded Age'."
