After you meet Kate Middleton , there’s nowhere to go but down… Carnival films, the producers Downton Abbey, confirmed today that this beloved drama will come to an end following its upcoming sixth season. We’ll give you a moment to pour out some tea in honor of its memory. “Millions of people around the world have followed the journey of the Crawley family and those who serve them for the last five years. Inevitably there comes a time when all shows should end and ‘Downton’ is no exception,” said producer Gareth Neame via statement. He continued: “We wanted to close the doors of Downton Abbey when it felt right and natural for the storylines to come together and when the show was still being enjoyed so much by its fans. “We can promise a final season full of all the usual drama and intrigue, but with the added excitement of discovering how and where they all end up…” There has been speculation over the future of Downton Abbey ever since star Maggie Smith told The Sunday Times a few weeks ago that “this is the last one and I can’t see how it could go on.” You’ll always be able to watch Downton Abbey online , but the soap opera will soon bid farewell to the small screen forever. 9 TV Shows That SHOULD Be Canceled 1. Grey’s Anatomy It’s been an amazing run for the show that put Shonda Rhimes on the map. But a plane crash, a hospital shooter and an earthquake later, there’s just nowhere else for this show to go. Nearly all original cast members have departed. Grey’s Anatomy should say goodbye before it soars too high over the shark. 2. Revenge The red sharpie barely makes an appearance any longer on this once-suspenseful ABC drama. Any revenge plan that takes this long to carry out likely isn’t gonna be successful. 3. Homeland Homeland basically died along with Nicholas Brody. It’s just a watered down version of what it once was now. 4. American Idol It’s just sad to watch this former ratings juggernaut limp to its conclusion… with no real end in sight.

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD It turns out that a Marvel universe without superheroes just isn’t all that exciting. 7. Keeping Up with the Kardashians Just… please… make… it… stop. 8. The Bachelorette Once producers resort to the gimmick of TWO Bachelorettes basically pulling each other’s hair out and possibly offering the guys sexual favors in order to earn the honor of being voted the sole Bachelorette… we’re pretty sure it’s time to move on.

Matthew Perry deserves better. The End. Up Next: ” 9 TV Shows That SHOULD Be Canceled .” We’ll be redirecting you shortly… We’ll give series creator Julian Fellowes the last word: The Downton journey has been amazing for everyone aboard. People ask if we knew what was going to happen when we started to make the first series and the answer is that, of course we had no idea. Exactly why the series had such an impact and reached so many people around the world, all nationalities, all ages, all types, I cannot begin to explain. But I do know how grateful we are to have been allowed this unique experience. I suspect the show will always be a principal marker in most of our careers as we set out from here, and if so, I consider that a blessing and a compliment.
