'Fifteen years with this family': 'Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale' trailer leaves fans emotional as the Crawleys take their final bow
The long-awaited trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale has finally dropped, and it's already tugging at fans' heartstrings. As the third film in the beloved franchise, the trailer hints that this really will be the final chapter. In it, the viewers are given glimpses of the Crawley family walking through the estate, taking in the familiar sights one last time. From the grand staircase to the sweeping lawns, everything feels like a goodbye. The tagline reads, 'It's time to say goodbye,' making it clear that it's the end of an era that fans have long admired. 'Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale trailer': Lady Mary takes the lead in a story set in 1930 While the trailer doesn't give away much, a few key details have been shared about the plot. According to Variety, the story picks up in 1930, after the events of Downton Abbey: A New Era. Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) will be in London, navigating life in high society, while Lord and Lady Grantham (Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern) continue their lives at the Downton estate in Yorkshire. There's a quiet, reflective tone to the trailer, suggesting that this final chapter will focus more on closure and emotion than grand drama. Fans are already feeling the heartbreak Fans didn't hold back their emotions after the trailer dropped. Many took to the comments section to share just how much Downton Abbey has meant to them over the years. One user wrote, 'As a huge fan of Downton Abbey, it's incredibly hard to say goodbye. This show and the movies have been a part of my life for so many years—it truly became like a second family.' Another fan reflected on how the series began nearly 15 years ago, saying, 'So much has occurred in 15 years, and many times being whisked away into this family's journey has brought me much comfort.' Others shared how much they'll miss the late Maggie Smith, who played the iconic Dowager Countess. One user said, 'Never has a trailer made me all teary before. And I realise with a sharp pang that I'll miss the Dowager so terribly.' Another commented, 'The trailer didn't reveal much but at the same time revealed everything.' The Grand Finale hits cinemas in September 2025 Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is scheduled to be released in cinemas on September 12, 2025. While that's the confirmed date for the general release, it's still unclear if Australian audiences will get it on the same day. Either way, fans are already marking their calendars and preparing themselves for what promises to be a powerful goodbye.

Downton Abbey 3 Isn't Bringing Back Matthew Goode, But I Actually Like His Reasoning For Why This Is ‘A Really Positive Thing'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. By the time Downton Abbey, one of the great Peak TV era shows, ended in 2015, Michelle Dockery's Lady Mary Talbot had been lucky enough to find love again, this time with Matthew Goode's Henry Talbot. The two of them were even expecting a child, and we got to meet little Caroline alongside her parents in the 2019 Downton Abbey movie. However, Henry wasn't around in 2022's Downton Abbey: A New Era and also won't appear in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, one of the later 2025 movie releases. However, Goode sees his absence this time around as a 'really positive thing' for a specific reason, and I have to say, I like the way he's thinking. As far as why Goode isn't appearing in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, it boiled down to scheduling conflicts, as he told THR that he was busy filming the British crime thriller series Dept. Q. The actor also mentioned that even if he had been able to carve out time, there was only 'half a page' of material for him. Goode continued: And actually, I said, you know what? Why can't this be a really positive thing? Because I don't know what they're doing. They might kill [Henry]! I didn't see the script. But it's a wonderful opportunity — [Mary, Michelle Dockery's character] is like this modern feminist icon and in a weird way, maybe she doesn't need a fella. Maybe Downton's enough or maybe some old suitor will come in. Now, it opens up the story to have something significant happen. Why have Henry come? I will admit that the idea of Mary losing another husband doesn't sit too well with me. Downton Abbey fans (who can currently revisit the show with a Peacock subscription) will obviously remember that Dan Stevens' Matthew Crawley was her chief love interest during the show's first three seasons, but he died in a car crash on the way home after seeing his newborn son in the hospital. In fact, Henry being a race car driver was the main reason Mary initially broke off her romantic relationship with him, as she couldn't bear the thought of losing another husband in a car crash. More on Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale Downton Abbey 3 Was Always Going To Be Difficult Without Maggie Smith, And Paul Giamatti Confirms 'It Was Not The Same' Downton Abbey 3's Michelle Dockery On The 'Beautiful' Third Movie And Honoring Maggie Smith But putting that aside, Mary did just fine without Henry by her side in A New Era, with his absence in that movie being attributed to him participating at a racing event in Istanbul. If Matthew Goode's musing that Henry Talbot could be killed off is correct, it's not like Mary is lacking in a support system to help her through this new round of grief, between her parents, sister, brother-in-law, the family's staff, the list goes on. My only request is that if Henry does indeed shuffle off this mortal coil, don't let it be from a car crash. It's also possible that nothing bad's going to happen to Henry, and whatever his small role would have been in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale would simply have set up the reason for his exit. In any case, I'm ok with not seeing Mary with Henry again, nor do I need to see her take up another suitor. With this being the final film in the Downton Abbey franchise, I'd much rather see her spending as much time as possible with her family and other loved ones in her life. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale opens in theaters on September 12. For the Matthew Goode fans out there, you're also welcome to watch him play Detective Carl Morck in Dept. Q, which can now be streamed with a Netflix subscription.

I Know Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale Is Going To Be Emotional, But The First Footage Had A Surprise Moment I Didn't Expect
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There are some sequels fans just want to dive into as soon as possible, but I don't think Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is one of them. At least, that's my subjective opinion about this upcoming 2025 movie schedule entry, because it's going to bring creator Julian Fellowes' iconic British drama to a resounding close. Now the first footage has finally released to the public, I'm doubling down on my feelings, as it features an emotional scene with a typically stoic member of the Crawley family that feels sure to bring the house down. So what is the scene in Focus Features' upcoming drama? It's one where Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville) plants a kiss on one of those very recognizable front walls. After all of the ups, downs, and everything in-between experienced in that stately manor, the teaser continues to sum it all up in a phrase we've seen since Downton Abbey 3's title reveal: 'It's time to say goodbye.' I just don't want to, despite knowing better going into this trailer. I let myself get caught up in beautiful little glimpses of Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) showing up to an event dressed in her finest, the return of Julian Levinson (Paul Giamatti) being marked by his trademark ebullience, and a bunch of the family showing up to a horse racing event. But then came that moment where the Paddington franchise star bid farewell to his familial home. A scene that may have been in the works for longer than we thought. Before doing the required deep dive to revisit Downton Abbey's previous adventures through my Peacock subscription, the vague recollection that the Crawley's beautiful home has always been on the verge of bankruptcy has always been on my mind. And for a while, one year in particular on the calendar has stuck out as a potential stumbling block to the family fortune - 1929. Seeing as that's when the American financial system suffered its first major crisis, and part of the money that's kept Downton afloat is from Cora's side of the family. Elizabeth McGovern's Cora, the American fixture in the ITV hit, has been the connection to various lifelines, for better or worse. With this movie being announced as taking place in 1930, the moment has passed, and consequences will start to take shape - with plenty of Downton Abbey 3 cast members still waiting to take their places. Which now introduces the possibility that Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale may see her brother Julius coming to collect in some manner or another. Let's not forget Paul Giamatti's cryptic Downton 3 tease where he said he does 'something of real significance.' Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearFor a little as $7.99 a month, Peacock TV is your streaming gateway to almost all of the Downton Abbey legacy. All six seasons, plus the previous sequel film A New Era, are snuggly housed in its library - waiting for you to enjoy! Of course, if you want to watch like the Crawley's modern descendants would, you can sign up for the ad-free Peacock Premium tier, and skip the commercials! View Deal Though now that I think about it, could the return of Guy Dexter (Dominic West) be an indication that he may want to secure the location as his own? You have to admit, that possibility would not only keep Thomas Barrow (Rob James-Collier) in the house he rose through the ranks serving, it'd also be a way to keep the household staff on board after the transition. I think even Barrows' former foe Mr. Carson (Jim Carter) would begrudgingly admit that this is making the best of a sad situation. In either of these scenarios, the Crawley era of Downton Abbey looks to be at its end. The real questions left to answer are where will its inhabitants go, who will be the new owner, and is it really for the best that Matthew Goode won't be appearing in The Grand Finale? Save your energy, and your tears, as we've got until September 12th to think of what to say about the end of this pop culture favorite.
