British drama Downton Abbey might become more related to grown-ups when the next season premieres based on a recent interview with series creator Julian Fellowes.

Former Character Coming Back In Season 5?

On Monday, Los Angeles Times posted a live interview with Fellowes along with other television show creators where he mentioned why he would rather express his story on TV rather than in a movie.

"You have an adult audience for a start," Fellowes said. "I mean, the big audience for movies is you know it's teens and early 20's whereas we have 30 to death, and that's a big group."

Actress Takes Pictures Of The Set?

Fellowes went on with details on the kinds of situations he can add on television, giving a possibility on what the next season of Downton Abbey will be like.

"You can have adult themes, you can have complicated themes, not everything is resolved, people can have emotionally contradictory natures, all sorts of stuff whereas if you're trying to put that into a movie, who are we rooting for?" the creator said.

Fellowes then mentioned that he can have "character narrative" on the series while spreading the story out throughout a longer period of time than a movie can have.

"We've got this space to do it hour after hour, week after week, year after year and you can't do that in a picture so you can have a really complicated grown-up narrative, a grown-up emotional journey that is full of twists and turns and all the rest of it, and I think that is very interesting," Fellowes said. "I think that's what people enjoy."

Downton Abbey Season 5 is expected to premiere in January 2015 on PBS.
