Downton Abbey star Jim Carter has confirmed that a second feature-length sequel to the blockbuster TV series is in the works, with filming starting in 2021.
Carter, who played resident butler Charles Carson, says the cast has already been given the screenplay for a sequel, following the success of the first movie last year.
Interviewed by ITV's This Morning, the actor did not reveal any details about the script, other than it is filled with humour.
"If you promise not to tell anyone, I'll let you know that we've seen a script … The script for a second film is there. We've seen it, it's very funny," he said.
