Michelle Dockery hints that Downton Abbey film is in the works: ‘There is potential’
Michelle Dockery has hinted that a Downton Abbey film could be in the works.
The British actress, who played Lady Mary Crawley throughout the show’s six-season run, has admitted that there is ‘potential’ for a big screen spin-off.
Speaking to The Telegraph, the 34-year-old seemed to suggest that the Crawley’s story was far from over.
“I think there is potential for a film. That is something I would wholeheartedly consider, so we will see. It may not be over yet.”
Talking about what she misses the most about the hit ITV series, Dockery added:
“The thing that I miss the most are my cast members. But we are all still very close.”
The British star is about to make her return to the small screen in new show Good Behaviour, which will air on US network TNT later this year.
Speaking about shooting in North Carolina, she said: “It’s been a real change after working for six years in England, but I enjoy being somewhere different, in a different climate and having to wear a lot of sunscreen.”
Dockery has had a difficult year following the death of her fiancé John Dineen back in December.
When asked who had helped her through the last few months, she said: “No one I would name because I am very private about my private life.
“But friends and family see you through the most difficult times.”
