Downton Abbey is a 2010 British television period drama series, produced by Carnival Films(part of US media corporation NBC Universal) for the ITV network. It was created and principally written by the Oscar-winning writer Julian Fellowes, who was appointed to theHouse of Lords in 2010.
The drama's first season is set in the fictional Downton Abbey, stately home of the Earl of Grantham, early in the reign of King George V, during the two years prior to the Great War and commencing with news of the sinking of the Titanic, an event which triggers much of the storyline. It follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants. Highclere Castle in Hampshire was used as Downton Abbey, with the servants' living areas constructed and filmed at Ealing Studios.
