Julian Fellowes, creator of popular TV drama Downton Abbey, has hinted that the fifth season may be the last for the show.
Fellowes said in an interview that there was no way that could keep working on Downton Abbey while working on his latest project, The Gilded Age.
“I just couldn’t do both at once” he said, while adding, “I don’t know yet if there is a season six but it’s not going to go on forever. It won’t be Perry Mason”.
Fellowes’ project The Gilded Age, is to be set in New York in the late 19th century and has been commissioned by the US network, NBC Universal.
“I haven't written it yet, but it's about the old aristocracy, the Winthrops and the Stuyvesants and the new money of oil and gas and shipping in the 1870s” he said.
“It will all be fiction - it won't be real people - but when those families descended on New York, they took over.”
