'Downton Abbey' Season 6 Gets Premiere Date
TV

The British period drama series about the Crawley family will return one last season starting early January next year.

AceShowbiz - PBS announced "Downton Abbey" would premiere its final season on January 3, 2016. Speaking at the Television Critics Association tour over the weekend, PBS chief Paula Kerger also revealed that the show would have a float in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses parade.

The British period drama series is taking a bow with the upcoming sixth season but it is not completely off the table. Executive producer Gareth Neame said of a possible spinoff, "I can't guarantee it's even going to happen. Julian [Fellowes] and I would be very happy to do it if that opportunity comes along. Now that we're at the beginning of the end of the TV show, we can start to think about it."

Fellowes, who created the series, commented, "It sounds rather an intriguing idea. I hope it comes off! I don't know anything more than you do about it." In another interview with Variety, he teased, "It may be reborn as a movie or a play or a musical or a ballet. Who knows if we've seen the last of it?"
