The British
are coming. At long last, Focus Features has released a trailer Downton Abbey:
A New Era, which sees the beloved Crawley family on a European vacation.
A follow up
to 2019’s Downton Abbey film, which saw the Crawley family and Downton staff
hosting the king and queen of England, Downton Abbey: A New Era sees Dame
Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess reveal a secret to her family about her past.
“Years ago before you were born, I met a man, and now I’ve come into possession
of a villa in the South of France,” she says quite casually. The trailer then
sees the family whisked away on the “grandest escape of the year” as they go on
a gorgeous French holiday.
“And with
that I will say good night,” the Dowager Countess says at one point during a
soiree, “and leave you to discuss my mysterious past.” Does this mysterious
past include another secret villa? Knowing the Dowager Countess and her
liaisons, it’s more likely than you’d think.
Downton
Abbey: A New Era will see Smith reunited with her former cast mates Michelle
Dockery, Imelda Staunton, Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Laura
Carmichael, Jim Carter, and the entire original principal cast of BBC’s Downton
Abbey series. They’ll be joined by newcomers to the abbey Hugh Dancy, Laura
Haddock, Nathalie Baye, Dominic West, and Jonathan Zaccaï. Initially intended
to arrive Christmas of 2021, Downton Abbey: A New Era will waltz its way into
theaters on March 18, 2022.
