\n<\/span><\/p>\nDownton Abbey and Gosford Park creator Julian Fellowes is to write a TV mini-series about the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, to air next year on ITV1.<\/p>\n
The series – set to start filming in Hungary this spring – will mark the centenary of the liner’s demise.<\/p>\n
Titanic will be “the must-see original drama for this landmark centenary anniversary,” said Maria Kyriacou, of ITV Studios Global Entertainment.<\/p>\n
Dame Helen Mirren and Romola Garai have been linked to roles in the drama.<\/p>\n
Viewers will be taken on a “heart-wrenching journey through Titanic’s last hours,” pledged ITV in a statement.<\/p>\n
The six-part series, it said, would combine “action, mystery and romantic plot lines” and feature both fictional and historical characters.<\/p>\n
The ship – claimed to be unsinkable by its builders – sank after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic in April 1912.<\/p>\n
The programme will also be screened in the US and Australia.<\/p>\n
Fellowes – who became Lord Fellowes of West Stafford last November – enjoyed success with Downton Abbey last year.<\/p>\n
The first episode of the lavish period drama began with news of the Titanic’s sinking.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
