The sixth season of Downton Abbey will be its last. Previously, the co-producer of the series, Gareth Neame, said in an interview that the show would "end at any time" after the sixth season, and now this statement has finally become a reality. "Downton Abbey" has been a very popular work among British audiences since its premiere in 2010, but as the plot has been extended, the ratings have been much lower than before, which is one of the reasons why the show chose to end. However, for British dramas that are generally short, "Downton Abbey" has persisted for six seasons, which is already a large scale. According to reports, many actors of "Downton Abbey" have only signed contracts until the sixth season, and many creators have already begun to prepare to invest in the creation of new works. In particular, screenwriter and producer Julian Fellowes had already started preparing his new NBC drama "The Best of Us" a few years ago, but he has not been able to get out of it due to the renewal of "Downton Abbey". Now he can also devote himself to the production of the new drama.
