While many of the fans were disappointed to hear that Season 6 will be the last hurrah for “Downton Abbey,” the series producers promise to retain the same kind of quality that the show has been known for in the past five years and attempt to surpass it.
The 11-time Emmy and three-time Golden Globe award-winning TV series will culminate with the Season 6 Christmas Special. And it will be the most anticipated episode of the show, as much as last year’s Christmas Special was such a humdinger for “Downton Abbey” fans. It is expected to be aired in December this year in the UK and in January 2016 in the US.
Expected to return for the sixth and final season of “Downton Abbey” are the show’s premiere acting cast that include Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael, Elizabeth McGovern, Michelle Dockery, Lily James, Joanne Froggatt, Jim Carter, and Maggie Smith.
