Julian Fellowes Talks Health, Downton's Future, and Gilded Age
Julian Fellowes, the creator of shows like 'Downton Abbey' and 'The Gilded Age', is out promoting his new work.
He is dealing with some health problems, like trouble moving around, but he is feeling fine overall.
The new season of 'The Gilded Age' is coming soon, and the final 'Downton Abbey' movie is also on its way.
Fellowes says the movie will still feel like it honors the character of Violet Crawley, even though the actress who played her, Maggie Smith, is not in it anymore.
He also wouldn't say definitively if there will be more 'Downton Abbey', but hinted it might be possible!
Julian Fellowes is promoting 'The Gilded Age' and 'Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale'.
He is managing mobility issues due to spinal stenosis.
'The Gilded Age' Season 3 premieres on June 22.
