Worrying news for Downton Abbey fans today after it was reported that a beloved character will die in the upcoming film sequel.
A Downton insider told The Sun that writer Julian Fellowes has "made this death so poignant".
They added: "Those who have seen the scenes said they are so emotional. They really will leave fans in floods. It's heartbreak at Highclere Castle and they're won't be a dry eye in cinemas."
While there is no indication as to who the iconic character is, fans are already theorising that it must be a someone pretty important, given the preamble.
Some fear that the show's most iconic character, the Dowager Countess played by the indomitable Maggie Smith, could be at risk. Others who are in potentially in danger include Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) and Lady Mary Crawley (Michelle Dockery).
