fans rejoice – the show\'s creator Daisy Goodwin thinks the hit ITV series "could run and run" until the end of Victoria\'s reign, and that a cast reshuffle is possible.

Although, Goodwin admitted it "would be very hard to top Jenna Coleman".

"I hope the series can run through Victoria\'s reign, I have thought about how it could continue... I mean, yes, it could run and run..." Goodwin told Digital Spy.

"[A cast reshuffle] could be possible, [but] I have to say it would be very hard to top Jenna. I think it kind of depends really on the appetite of the public. Helena Bonham Carter would be good.. [But] for now I can only think of Jenna."

Goodwin, who serves as the show\'s executive producer, also revealed what a possible series 3 might look like, when it is officially confirmed by ITV.

to be a series 3, it would include the revolution which was sweeping across Europe, in 1848, and Victoria and Albert think they\'re going to lose their throne.

"Albert and Victoria will face a very difficult path emotionally, and personally.

"And there will be lots of surprises, and new characters that you might not know about, and that people won\'t be expecting. And an interesting new political dynamic.

Christmas special to look forward to, and Goodwin confirmed that it will have a happier outcome than the series 2 finale which devastated fans.

"There will be tears and joy," she continued. "Tears and sadness - in the spirit of Christmas. I think people will leave smiling and will finish the episode feeling happier."

That Prince Albert who shaped many of our beloved Christmas traditions will feature heavily, with Goodwin continuing: "Albert took Christmas very seriously indeed and our traditions came over with Albert bringing the Christmas trees in the house – that was Albert\'s innovation. Not just one tree, but a tree for every member of the family.

"He super-sized Christmas. The Christmas special explores what Christmas meant for him – it\'s a happy memory from his childhood which was otherwise unhappy. But he remembers Christmas fondly and he wants to give the same pleasure for his children.

"I think Victoria had a different upbringing – Christmas was a time she felt alone and mistreated by her mother and by everybody, and she\'s coming to terms with the fact this is the first Christmas she hasn\'t had with Baroness Lehzen – her ally and mainstay."
