Based on Carnival Films’ Emmy award-winning television series, Downton Abbey: The Grand FInale brings 15 unforgettable years of heartfelt drama to a close and has been billed by Universal as the must-have story of the season.

The cinematic return of the global phenomenon follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s. When Mary finds herself at the center of a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the entire household grapples with the threat of social disgrace. The Crawleys must embrace change as the staff prepares for a new chapter with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future.

The movie features the familiar faces of returning cast members Hugh Bonneville (Agatha Christie’s Poirot: Murder on the Orient Express), Jim Carter (Shakespeare in Love), Michelle Dockery (Non-Stop), Elizabeth McGovern (Ragtime), and Penelope Wilton (Summerland).
