First Promo for Julian Fellowes’ Titanic Miniseries

Julian Fellowes, creator of everyone’s favorite period drama Downton Abbey, is writing a four-part miniseries about the sinking of the Titanic. It’s set to air early next year, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the tragic sinking.

From the looks of this trailer, it’s got a bit of a Downton Abbey on a Boat! feel, but let’s not kid ourselves. We all know we’re going to love it . (And if we could get a cameo from the ill-fated Crawley relatives, as a nod to Downton…well, that would just be the frosting of greatness on top.)

Lacy's love of British TV is embarrassingly extensive, but primarily centers around evangelizing all things Doctor Who, and watching as many period dramas as possible.

Digital media type by day, she also has a fairly useless degree in British medieval literature, and dearly loves to talk about dream poetry, liminality, and the medieval religious vision. (Sadly, that opportunity presents itself very infrequently.) York apologist, Ninth Doctor enthusiast, and unabashed Ravenclaw. Say hi on Threads or Blue Sky at @LacyMB.
