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.

Matthew Goode insists Downton Abbey remark 'was not meant to be derogatory'
Matthew Goode caused a stir among Downtonians earlier this month when he said something that might be perceived as a slight on his beloved Downton Abbey character Henry Talbot. However, he has insisted that the comments he made were not intended 'in a horribly derogatory way'. The actor – who is currently starring in the new Netflix thriller Dept Q, out today – clarified his remarks in an exclusive interview with Metro. Goode recently confirmed he will not be returning for the third film of Julian Fellowes' Downton Abbey, having starred in the melodrama for two seasons. Speaking to Radio Times, he quipped that his character, racing driver Henry Talbot and Lady Mary's second husband, had become a 'wet lettuce', so it is probably for the best if he disappeared into the sunset.

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Addressing the wisecrack at Henry's expense, Goode told Metro: 'I didn't mean it in a horribly derogatory way. I just meant actually, wouldn't it be more exciting if [Lady Mary] didn't need a man so she might end up on her own? 'Some people look up to her as a modern feminist or a pillar of modern feminism.' While Goode never read the script for the third film, since he was working on the TV show The Offer, he suggested his own alternative ending for Lady Mary. 'I would hope that, if she does have a happy ending, maybe one of her earlier suitors could come back and whisk her off,' said the 47-year-old. He then suggested perhaps Lady Mary's ending could involve 'something surprising other than good old Henry'. So what does he think Henry is doing now? Replying without a beat: 'Drinking, probably.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video While Goode is most familiar to his fans as a bastion of the period drama, with Downton, The Crown and Brideshead Revisited likely his most well-known roles, his latest IMDb entry is something wholly different. Goode stars as detective Carl Morck in Netflix's new cold case psychological thriller Dept Q, in which he has grown a grey-speckled beard and installed a chip on his shoulder to inhabit the frame of a tortured detective forever on the case. Based on the Danish crime novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen, Dept Q follows Goode's Mock as he joins forces with other down-and-out coppers in the Edinburgh precinct to try and crack long-unsolved cold cases. It turned out playing against type was something The Imitation Game star quite enjoyed, albeit admitting it did start to creep into his off-screen life during the 'seven-month grind' of filming the show in Scotland. His schedule included 4am wake-ups to run dialogue and prep for the day's scenes and weekends that were spent catching the Caledonian sleeper to visit his wife and children in Exeter, emerging bleary eyed at Euston Station at 5am. 'After seven months it does compound upon you slightly, playing someone with PTSD and working on the murder squad,' he said. 'But very nice problems to have.' He added: 'You get into a rhythm. The thing about doing long form television is that there isn't really any switching off, because it's a constant process.' When he wasn't running lines in the bath or filming the nine-episode show's high-octane scenes, he enjoyed moments to himself with a pot of coffee and a sports documentary – Ken Burn's Baseball being his favourite. More Trending Goode said all his roles have been challenging in certain ways, but did single out inhabiting the grizzled psyche of Morck as particularly demanding. 'The darkness of it was relentless. It's up there,' he said, momentarily wracking his brain. 'Once you finish, I just jettison everything from my memory banks. I control, alt, delete a lot.' He then added: 'But we're not saving lives. We're not in a war zone operating on children. It was tough, but let's keep it within the realms. It was a wonderful challenge.' View More » Dept Q is available to stream on Netflix from today.

Good luck out there and other TV cures
It's hard to be a grownup, as high school, college and university graduates are about to discover. For your viewing pleasure, here is a roundup of new broadcast and streaming options with some interesting takes on adulting, success, failure and how to get back up again. ● Adults (series premières Wednesday, May 28 at 8 p.m. on FX and the Citytv+ channel on Prime Video) Whereas that 1990s juggernaut series Friends was about roommates consoling and cheering each on as they launch themselves into adulthood, Adults is about young people with marginal life skills and the dawning awareness that they have few prospects. And instead of a fancy Manhattan apartment, five friends are crashing in one character's childhood suburban home. Darkly funny. 'I always thought the world was going to be waiting for me. Instead, everyone seems to be annoyed that I'm here,' is one of the gang's realizations. Another is that he doesn't know his own social security number (though his mom does). Will young people feel seen? Will parents feel pangs? Will childless adults feel vindicated? Yes to all that. Netflix Matthew Goode is a tortured detective in Dept. Q on Netflix. Netflix Matthew Goode is a tortured detective in Dept. Q on Netflix. ● Dept. Q (series premières on Thursdayon Netflix) If you know Matthew Goode from his vampire role in A Discovery of Witches, his lawyerly charmer in A Good Wife or the race-car-driving second-husband of Downton Abbey's Lady Mary, here's a bit of a change-up. He plays DCI Carl Morck, who feels responsible 'for everything,' as one underling puts it, after an incident goes horribly, horribly wrong. His boss makes him the poster boy for all that is wrong with policing by relegating him to basement obscurity with only cold cases to focus on. But the boss hasn't properly measured the man, because Morck will find justice despite departmental stonewalling, even while saddled with low expectations, his own worst instincts and a lacking assistant. If that doesn't intrigue, the writer/director of Dept. Q is Frank Scott, whose work includes The Queen's Gambit and Godless, both of which are highly recommended. ● Mountainhead (movie premières Saturday, May 31 on Crave) Press kits for new TV are not usually so concise, but this one is a blisteringly accurate snapshot of the mindset of the four tech titans at the centre of this apocalyptic fiction: 'Four friends. $371 billion net worth. Zero culpability.' From writer/director Jesse Armstrong, who made us cringe with revulsion and delight at the antics of the richy-rich Roy family in Succession, this movie puts the four most powerful and rich tech billionaires in the world in a mountaintop mansion at the moment that the world begins devolving into actual flames. A perfect-looking cast of Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef and Cory Michael Smith play the men who grapple with their responsibility, their potential and whether they any have enough courage to reach beyond patting themselves on the back. Apple TV+ Owen Wilson (left) plays a onetime golf golden boy who rediscovers his game in coaching a young prodigy (Peter Dager). Apple TV+ Owen Wilson (left) plays a onetime golf golden boy who rediscovers his game in coaching a young prodigy (Peter Dager). ● Stick (series premières on Wednesday, June 4, on Apple TV+) Who doesn't love an Owen Wilson redemption story? Add to that the subject of golf and I'm betting this is a pre-summer winner. Although … the trailer is leaning a little suspiciously hard into Stick being from 'the home of Ted Lasso' — which is to say, they will both be streaming on Apple TV+. But is that really a guarantee to bank on? Sounds kinda desperate. But I am faithful to Wilson (Royal Tenenbaums, Marry Me, Grand Budapest Hotel, etc.). And I don't mind a bit of Marc Maron (GLOW) or Judy Greer (Best Christmas Pageant Ever). But never mind all that: In this series, Wilson plays Pryce Cahill, a onetime pro-golf golden boy who now sees a young prospect as his chance at redemption not so much on the circuit as to his own conscience. Awwwww. Emilio Madrid / CNN Writer, director and star George Clooney (centre) with the Broadway cast of Good Night, and Good Luck to be broadcast live on CNN on June 7. Emilio Madrid / CNN Writer, director and star George Clooney (centre) with the Broadway cast of Good Night, and Good Luck to be broadcast live on CNN on June 7. ● Good Night, and Good Luck (live theatre performance at 6 p.m., Saturday, June 7, on CNN) CNN is congratulating itself for being the first network to broadcast a play live, promising the five-time Tony Award nominee 'will stream live, without requiring a cable log-in, via CNN connected TV and mobile apps.' The moment will reveal whether that pledge will also cover logins on the Canadian side of the border but fingers crossed. The fact-based play, like the 2005 movie, is co-written by and stars George Clooney. While the Oscar winner played a supporting role in his film, in the play Clooney takes the lead role of Edward R. Murrow as the newsman executes his historic on-air showdown with Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Prepare to be thrilled. This live performance will be the play's penultimate. The Tony Awards will be broadcast live on CBS the next day, Sunday, June 8. Broadcast dates subject to change. Questions, comments to

‘I hope it inspires people to get outdoors': Woodland walk opens in Lisburn named after Lady Mary Peters
A woodland walking trail has officially opened in Lisburn named after Lady Mary Peters, the first landmark of its kind to be named after the Olympic gold medallist. It was officially opened on Thursday by the athlete who was joined by the Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh, Councillor Kurtis Dickson. The woodland trail, set within the scenic grounds of Aberdelghy Golf Course, was proposed by pupils at Fort Hill Integrated Primary School in recognition of Lady Mary's historic victory at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. Lady Mary said that she was 'deeply honoured' and that, knowing the idea came from young people in the local area, makes it 'even more special'. The 1.2km walk links the Lagan towpath with the golf course and travels down Conway Lane reconnecting with the towpath. Over the past 12 months pupils at Fort Hill Integrated Primary School have worked with Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council to participate in a series of planting schemes designed to enhance the biodiversity of the area. Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, Councillor Kurtis Dickson, said: 'This woodland trail is a fitting tribute to Lady Mary Peters — a local legend whose achievements continue to inspire generations. It's a wonderful addition to our parks network, offering a peaceful and scenic route that celebrates both her legacy and the natural beauty of our area." Speaking at the launch, Lady Mary Peters said: "I am deeply honoured to have this beautiful woodland walk named after me. Knowing that the idea came from young people makes it even more special. I hope this space inspires people to get out and enjoy the outdoors and cherish our natural environment." Watch: Lady Mary Peters visits NI school 50 years on Councillor Jonathan Craig, Chair of the council's Communities and Wellbeing Committee, said: 'Lady Mary's Woodland Walk is a shining example of how we are enhancing biodiversity while creating beautiful, accessible green spaces for everyone to enjoy. 'Our parks and open spaces across Lisburn & Castlereagh are among our greatest assets. 'Projects like this demonstrate our commitment to protecting nature and promoting wellbeing through enhancing and developing our parks and outdoor spaces." To support local wildlife, a native hedgerow has been introduced, featuring species such as Blackthorn, Crab Apple, Hawthorn, Hazel, Holly and Rowan trees—providing both habitat and nourishment for birds and other wildlife. Additionally, native wildflowers and pollinator-friendly bulbs have been planted to sustain vital pollinators throughout the seasons.
