8 TV Shows That Are About To Become Movies
6. Downton Abbey
The Downton Abbey show concluded its run on Christmas Day 2015, but its popularity has remained at sky-high levels ever since. A movie adaptation was confirmed earlier this year - for release in September 2019 - and with most of the original cast set to return, the film should be quite the rewarding payoff for patient long-time fans.
Actors like Hugh Bonneville, Maggie Smith and Michelle Dockery will all be reprising their roles, while the likes of Lily James and Ed Speleers will unfortunately not be involved. It's also being scripted and produced by Julian Fellowes (who created the show), so it should have the same feel and style as its small-screen sibling.
The story will continue on from where the show ended, and while plot details are yet to be disclosed, a major feature-length movie like this will no doubt be heavy on the drama, with some juicy arcs for the characters involved.
