It’s official! The Downton Abbey final movie is coming to theaters this September, and it promises to be the last chapter in the beloved Crawley family story.
Set in the 1930s, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale will bring back many of the familiar faces fans have grown to love, including Lady Mary, Lord Grantham, and Mr. Carson. The film is expected to be both nostalgic and emotional, offering a final farewell to the estate, its characters, and an era that captured hearts around the world.
