So [it’s official](http://www.itv.com/presscentre/press-releases/carnival-films-and-itv-announce-season-6-be-final-downton-abbey). The next season will be the last. ---

I think it makes sense. It seems they’re laying the groundwork to pair people off or set them on a new path, leaving Robert and Cora to say good bye. ---

I was hoping to see how Robert, Mary and the rest cope with the 1929 stock market crash. But I doubt this last season will move that far forward. (Unless we get an Animal House-style ending showing us everyone’s ultimate fate.) ---

The last episode–directed by [del]Quentin Tarantino[/del] Robert Rodriguez–is the two of them just murdering everybody else in the house using shoe horns and soup ladles and silver-handled combs. And maybe shotguns. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/downton-abbey-s5-spoiler-free-until-broadcast-in-the-u-s/694244.md?page=29)
