'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.

Watch: First look at final Downton Abbey film
The place we'll always remember. The family we'll never forget. Everything has led to this. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is only in theaters September 12. Watch the teaser trailer now. — Downton Abbey (@DowntonAbbey) June 2, 2025 The trailer for the new Downton Abbey film has hinted at a poignant final chapter. After six series and two films, a final cinematic release will conclude the story of the Crawley family in September 2025 with Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. A teaser trailer suggests that there will be an emotional end to the Edwardian saga devised by writer Lord Fellowes, which began with the first series on ITV in 2010. Promotional material for the third and final film in the franchise shows Hugh Bonneville's character Robert Crawley, the Earl of Grantham, apparently bidding farewell to Downton. The trailer includes a portrait of Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, who was played by the late Dame Maggie Smith. Her character was killed off in the 2022 film Downton Abbey: A New Era, two years before Dame Maggie herself died aged 89. Executive producer Gareth Neame said that the film would contain a 'meaningful' tribute to Dame Maggie, and her loss would be reflected in the plot of the finale of the Downton story. In an interview with TV Line in 2024, Neame said: 'The fact that Dame Maggie herself has now passed away since that time has given a real added poignancy to a story that we would have planned anyway.' Few further details of the film's plot have been revealed. The film stars Dominic West as silent film star Guy Dexter, and Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary, who will be shown navigating London high society. The trailer hints at the plot revolving to some degree around a stage show and shows Lady Mary being mobbed by the press and treated like a star. Her former on-screen partner Matthew Goode's character Henry Talbot will not be returning for the final film. The actor said that he felt his character was 'edging towards becoming a bit of a wet lettuce' and suggested it was a 'good thing' he would not return, allowing Lady Mary to find another love interest.
