Michelle Dockery hopeful for 'Downton Abbey' reunion

Actress Michelle Dockery says she is hopeful that "Downton Abbey" cast will reunite for another series or a film adaptation.

The 35-year-old actress played Lady Mary Crawley in the hit period drama from 2010 until the show's ending in 2015, reported E! online.

When quizzed about a potential reunion, she said, "I don't know when, but I'm hopeful."

The actress says she would be delighted if the cast gets back together for a big screen outing because she still misses the show and the friends she made during her five years on the programme.

"I miss the show and my friends on the show." Dockery's former co-star Jim Carter, who portrayed Mr Carson in the series, previously teased that the show's bosses had been in touch with him and other stars about leaving some time free to shoot scenes later this year.

"We've been asked to keep ourselves available for dates in the future. But nobody has seen a script," he said.
