After the second Downton Abbey film<\/a>, A New Era, was released in cinemas last year, the creator of the original series and screenwriter of both big screen outings Julian Fellowes has said he has stopped \u201cmaking permanent statements\u201d about whether the period drama is gone for good.<\/p>\n

It was reported earlier this year that a seventh season of the show<\/a>, which originally ended in 2015, is in the works, and while Fellowes didn\u2019t confirm this news, he didn\u2019t rule it out either.<\/p>\n

Speaking on TalkRadio, as reported by The Sun<\/a>, Fellowes was asked whether the hit period drama series could return, to which he said: \u201cI have said goodbye to Downton so many times, and I have written the last scene about six or seven times.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I\u2019ve got out of the habit of making permanent statements whether it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just gives me a lot of pleasure that so many people enjoyed it, so to feel that you created a show that cheers people up and they had a good time with it, I love that.\u201d<\/p>\n
