Rumors have been swirling for months that Downton Abbey‘s upcoming season would be its last. According to TV Line, multiple sources have now confirmed the period drama will end after Season 6, which is currently filming.

In an interview with the Times of London earlier this month, Maggie Smith seemed to confirm it was the end. “They say this is the last one, and I can’t see how it could go on,” she said. “I mean, [my character] certainly can’t keep going. To my knowledge, I must be 110 by now. We’re in to the late 1920s.”
