The series will mark the beginning of a very busy time for Michelle, particularly if Downton Abbey returns for a sequel! Speaking about deciding to do the 2019 film version of the popular TV show, she previously told the Independent: "It feels like a long time coming. [The film] was rumoured for so long, then there was the question of, ‘Are we going to do this?’ Hugh Bonneville described it as though we were all holding hands on the edge of a cliff working out whether to jump. It felt that way, as though if we weren’t all going to do it, it wouldn’t work. And the timing was perfect, I thought, to get back together. It gave the audience enough time to miss it."
