deadline.comAfter teasing fans with quick glimpses over the past several months, Focus Features today revealed the full official trailer for Downton Abbey: A New Era.
The follow-up to 2019’s feature adaptation of the beloved TV series appears to have two major plot strands, one involving a mystery and the other a movie; there’s also a wedding afoot.
Check out the trailer above.In the trailer we see the Crawley family head from the Grantham estate down to the South of France where Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess has inherited a villa from someone in her “mysterious past.” Her rather shocked relatives wonder who this mystery man was and whether Granny ever thought to turn down the house, “Do I look as if I’d turn down a villa, in the South of France?,” she quips in trademark fashion.Meanwhile, back at Downton Abbey, the modern world is creeping in as a film crew takes over the house, much to the delight of the staff, as well as Lord Grantham’s disgust.The original principal cast have returned for the second film including Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Elizabeth McGovern, Jim Carter, Brendan Coyle, Kevin Doyle, Joanne Froggatt, Robert James-Collier, Phyllis Logan, Sophie McShera, Tuppence Middleton, Lesley Nicol, Imelda Staunton and Penelope Wilton.
