Elizabeth McGovern shared her reflections on the future Downton Abbey projects before the release of Downton Abbey: the grand finale.
The historical drama, inspired by the true history and British society at the beginning of the 20th century, arrived at its end in September.
McGovern, who plays Cora Crawley, responded to reports on the creator of Lord Julian Fellowes said “never to say” if this film was really the final.
McGovern told British magazine Flavors“” As far as I’m concerned, it’s done. I loved making this film, but I’m now. I’m ready to move on. “”
Downton Abbey started as a television series which was broadcast for the first time on ITV in 2010, and ran for six seasons before the creation of films Downton Abbey (2019) and Downton Abbey: a new era (2022).
The third film will be the first without the veteran actress Maggie Smith, who played Violet Crawley and died in September 2024 at the age of 89.
McGovern said: “Everyone has definitely had mixed feelings again to do Downton, especially without Maggie [Smith]. “”
Remembering Smith, McGovern spoke about it is like working with her.
She recalled: “Literally everything you could imagine. Absolutely wonderful, hell on earth.”
“But everything has increased.
Downton Abbey: the grand finale will be published in the cinemas on September 12.
