Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale brings the extended Crawley family and their dedicated staff back to the big screen for the third and final time. Set in the 1930s, the plot centers around Lady Mary Talbot's public scandal and the family at large confronting financial woes, which pushes the entire estate to the brink of social ruin. The Crawleys upstairs and the workers downstairs must come together as a new generation prepares to steer Downton into its future.

The cast members, in alphabetical order, are: Simon Russell Beale, Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Raquel Cassidy, Brendan Coyle, Michelle Dockery, Kevin Doyle, Michael Fox, Joanne Froggatt, Paul Giamatti, Harry Hadden-Paton, Robert James-Collier, Allen Leech, Phyllis Logan, Elizabeth McGovern, Sophie McShera, Lesley Nicol, Alessandro Nivola, Dominic West, Penelope Wilton, Arty Froushan, Joely Richardson, Paul Copley, and Douglas Reith. The legendary Maggie Smith passed away in 2024 and is not expected to appear in this film.

Exclusive: Angels in the Asylum, the British indie film starring Simon Pegg and Katherine Waterston, has left creditors out of pocket to the tune of £3.7M ($5M) after halting filming six months ago, according to a financial filing.

As revealed by Deadline earlier this year, Angels in the Asylum was mounted without its financing fully in place and had to shut down in February, 15 days into a month-long shoot. The picture is housed at special purpose vehicle Aita Films Limited, with first-time feature director Rob Sorrenti serving as producer alongside Heather Greenwood, who co-produced Gavin & Stacey: The Finale.

Aita Films Limited filed for administration in April, a process equivalent to Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Kallis Insolvency Practitioners, Aita Films’ administrator, has now produced a report outlining the company’s affairs and the amount owed to financiers, cast, crew, and suppliers.

Sorrenti and Greenwood have been approached for comment.

The anticipated fifth and final season of Amazon Prime Video's hit series The Boyswill serve up a Supernatural reunion fans will be excited about. Jensen Ackles, who joined the superhero series in its third season as the Soldier Boy, is set to share the screen once more with his longtime Supernatural co-stars, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins. Both shows are connected by Eric Kripke, who created Supernatural (but exited the series in its fifth season), and co-developed The Boys alongside Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen.

For 15 seasons, from 2005 to 2020, Ackles and Padalecki led the CW's Supernatural as the demon-hunting brothers, Dean and Sam, respectively. Collins joined the cast during its fourth season as the angel Castiel, remaining on until its conclusion. In a recent interview with People, Ackles revealed that the three remain close.

The time has come to say goodbye. The official trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, the third and final entry in the big-screen continuation of the beloved PBS series, has arrived.

After 15 years, the story of the Crawleys and their staff will come to an end this September with Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. All the familiar faces are back in the official trailer for the historical drama threequel, which looks set to feature plenty of heartfelt (and heart-wrenching) moments. As is often the case when it comes to Michelle Dockery's Lady Mary Talbot, there will also be a dash of scandal, as the trailer reveals that the fan-favorite character has divorced her husband, Henry Talbot. This development shouldn't come as too much of a shock to Downton fans, given that Henry's portrayer, Matthew Goode, has noticeably been absent from the franchise since the 2019 film, with the...

Downton Abbey is going to make us emotional all over again. It is really the end of it all, as the third film in the series gives off the hint in its title, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. The first trailer of the film has been released, and it is clear that it will be a tear-jerking farewell to some of our favorite TV stars since 2010.

The series wrapped up in 2015 and was followed up by two films, Downton Abbey and Downton Abbey: A New Era. Midway through the series, we saw the shocking death of Dan Stevens’ Matthew Crawley, which left us devastated. It appears that the show is about to bring back those haunting memories.

Downton Abbey is one of those franchises that keeps resurfacing despite a series finale that aired in 2015.

With some of the same footage shown to exhibitors during Focus’ presentation at CinemaCon earlier this spring, the teaser lays out the plot: the Crawley family and its staff arrive at 1930, looking to the future while saying goodbye to the past.

That includes the family’s famed Grantham Estate. At one point, the head of the family Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville) pays respect to the mansion that made the show famous — the real Highclere Castle in Hampshire, England — by giving it a pat and a kiss, apparently as the family says goodbye to it.

“Downton Abbey” is officially moving into the 1930s with the latest teaser trailer for its upcoming movie, “The Grand Finale.” The movie from Focus Features will premiere theatrically on Sept. 12.

The teaser begins with three couples elegantly strolling down the green at a horse race. The teaser then jumps between several more stunning visuals, including a packed theater and Lady Mary Talbot (Michelle Dockery) wowing in a red dress before being dubbed a “sensation.” The video ends with several shots of the estate as various characters tip their hats and give knowing, somber looks.

“As the beloved cast of characters navigates how to lead Downton Abbey into the future, they must embrace change and welcome a new chapter,” a Monday press release for the upcoming movie reads. Watch the teaser below:

Directed by Simon Curtis, the screenplay for “The Grand Finale” comes from “Downton” creator and Academy Award winner Julian Fellowes.

It’s the final installment of beloved series turned film franchise “Downton Abbey.” Aptly titled “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale,” the third film debuted its trailer during CinemaCon, and is now sharing it with audiences everywhere. Julian Fellowes returns to write the installment, which is set in the same universe as his show “The Gilded Age.” Fellowes previously teased that the elusive plot of “The Grand Finale” is “emboldened” by the clock timer invention that takes place in “The Gilded Age.”

The logline for “The Grand Finale” reads: “The time has come to say goodbye to ‘Downton Abbey.’ Focus Features is bringing the beloved Crawley household to theaters for the final installment of the wildly successful franchise written by creator Julian Fellowes.”

The ensemble cast includes Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Raquel Cassidy, Brendan Coyle, Michelle Dockery, Kevin Doyle, Michael Fox, Joanne Froggatt, Harry Hadden-Paton, Robert James-Collier, Allen Leech,...

Could there be trouble in paradise for the Talbots? Matthew Goode has confirmed that he won’t be reprising his role of Mary’s husband Henry Talbot in the third and final Downton Abbey movie, hitting theaters on Sept. 12, after previously missing the second installment.

“I was unavailable for the second because I was doing The Offer,” Goode recently told The UK’s Radio Times. “[For the third], I was shooting [Netflix’s Department Q]. But I also buggered my knee, and I had to have an operation. That takes weeks to get over, so I was never going to be able to do it.

Exclusive: The production company that houses Angels In The Asylum, the beleaguered British indie film starring Simon Pegg, has effectively filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Aita Films Limited intends to appoint law firm Debenhams Ottaway to oversee the administration process. The development follows Angels In The Asylum halting filming halfway through its shoot after running out of cash, as Deadline revealed last month.

In the UK, company directors can put a firm into administration if it can’t pay its debts. Deadline has previously reported that Angels In The Asylum’s 150 crew members are owed at least £600,000 in wages, while suppliers are also out of pocket significantly.

The administration process is similar to Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but unlike in the U.S., where directors remain in control of the business, Debenhams Ottaway will take charge of Aita Films’ operations and will attempt to restructure the company financially so that it can pay creditors.

Paul Giamatti has spoken about returning to the Downton Abbey franchise for the upcoming third film, describing the production as shaped by the absence of Dame Maggie Smith, who died in September 2024.

In an interview with People, Giamatti said the cast continued working with her memory in mind. “It was not the same without her, but it felt very much like in her honor in some way,” he said. “She certainly still feels present through the whole thing. Not having her there is obviously a huge loss, but everybody was still acting in her spirit.”

Giamatti plays Harold Levinson, the brother of Cora Crawley, a role he first portrayed during the show’s 2013 Christmas special. Although his initial appearance was limited to one episode, Giamatti said he was surprised to be invited back. “The interesting thing for me was that they even asked me at all because I was like,...

Paul Giamatti recently opened up about the production of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale in the wake of Maggie Smith’s death, reflecting on how the film carries her spirit and serves to honor her.

Speaking to People ahead of his forthcoming Black Mirror episode this week, the two-time Oscar nominee opened up about reprising his role from the wildly popular mothership show, in which he appeared during the Season 4 Christmas special as Cora’s (Elizabeth McGovern) brother Harold Levinson.

“It was not the same without her, but it felt very much like in her honor in some way. She certainly still feels present through the whole thing. Not having her there is obviously a huge loss, but everybody was still acting in her spirit,” The Holdovers star said.

He added, “Working with her the first time around was one of the best things ever and I didn’t even...

Focus Features today offered CinemaCon attendees an emotional look at the first trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. This is the last in the trilogy of big screen continuations of the British TV drama phenomenon. It’s written by series creator Julian Fellowes and directed by Simon Curtis.

Plot details had previously been sparse, but the trailer shown today includes a title card that tells us “It’s time to say goodbye” before we see Hugh Bonneville’s Earl of Grantham patting the facade of the manor house on the Grantham Estate in what indeed appears to be a farewell.

Before that, we hear Jim Carter’s Mr. Carson saying, “Welcome to 1930.” There are images of the family at the races, of Dominic West’s Guy Dexter in London’s West End and Michelle Dockery’s Lady Mary ascending steps while wearing a sumptuous red gown. A portrait of...

The Universal Pictures presentation at CinemaCon is well underway, and the studio took some time to focus on a few of its projects coming from Focus Features, including the first trailer for Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme.

The first trailer, shot in 1:33:1, stars Benicio del Toro as an infamous businessman involved in international intrigue with assassins out to kill him. But after surviving his sixth plane crash, he names his daughter, who is a nun, as his successor. Mia Threapleton plays the daughter, and Michael Cera also stars. The rest of the ensemble cast, which includes Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, Jeffrey Wright, Riz Ahmed, Richard Ayoade, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, Mathieu Amalric, Hope Davis, and more, are supporting.

Anderson wrote and directed The Phoenician Scheme based on a story he originated with Roman Coppola. The film will see a limited release on May 30th, followed...

All good things must come to an end eventually including our time at Downton Abbey.

With its September 12 release date inching closer, Focus Features finally revealed the official title for the third Downton Abbey movie which will bring an official end to the beloved franchise 15 years after it first debuted on PBS to rave reviews. Taking to the official Downton Abbey Instagram, it was revealed that the previously untitled third film will be titled Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale.

If there was any doubt that the film’s title was hinting at the film being a closing chapter for the franchise, it’s tagline most certainly confirms the film will be the final chapter in the franchise with the poster teasing, “The time has come to say goodbye.”

Exclusive: Angels in the Asylum’s producers have sent a profuse apology to unpaid crew after Deadline revealed that the Simon Pegg indie film had to halt shooting amid funding issues.

In an email to colleagues on Friday morning, producers Rob Sorrenti and Heather Greenwood said they were “truly sorry that we find ourselves in this terrible situation.” They added: “It was never what we could possibly have imagined when we started this journey.”

Angels in the Asylum set out to tell an important story about women incarcerated against their wishes, but had to pause production indefinitely last month after running out of cash. Around 150 crew members are owed at least £600,000 in wages, suppliers have not been paid, and producers have also gone without a salary. A portion of cast pay was ringfenced in an escrow account under Equity union agreements.

The reasons for the financial strife are disputed. The...

Simon Pegg's upcoming film 'Angels in the Asylum' has paused filming indefinitely after running out of cash.The movie - which is based on true events and centres around women who were incarcerated after being deemed to be typhoid carriers in the 1930s - halted filming in February just 15 days into a month-long shoot, with no current plans to resume and crew members said to be owed at least £600,000 in wages.Producers Rob Sorrenti - who is also directing the film - and Heather Greenwood said the situation is "devastating" but they are in talks with other financiers to resurrect the project and "remain determined to find a solution".They claimed funding under an arrangement with distributor Parkland Pictures has failed to materialise, but that firm's CEO John Cairns told Deadline they had no agreement to finance 'Angels in the Asylum' beyond its work as a sales agent.

The time is coming to say goodbye to Downton Abbey and its inhabitants one more time. Today, the official Downton Abbey account on Instagram unveiled the very first poster for the upcoming movie Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Although the poster is not too revealing, it does put Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) in the spotlight. The always vocal member of the Crawley family certainly won't go out without a bang, and the red dress underscores that. The movie is set to hit theaters on September 12.

While it is difficult to say goodbye to such beloved characters, Downton Abbey fans can't complain. They got to watch six seasons of their favorite show and now will be able to go to theaters a third time to catch up with the Crawley family. The story of The Grand Finale is still being kept under wraps, but once again it is written by franchise...

“Downton Abbey 3” will mark a significant conclusion for the beloved franchise, as the title of the film — as revealed on Thursday — suggests this really is the end of the road for “Downton Abbey.” Unveiling a teaser poster, Focus Features also revealed the film’s title: “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale.”

“It’s time to say goodbye,” the tagline reads on the poster, which sees Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) in the familiar halls of Downton. The film hits theaters later this year.

Julian Fellowes, the creator of the TV series and writer of the first two films, returns to pen the screenplay for “The Grand Finale,” which is directed by Simon Curtis who spearheaded 2022’s “Downton Abbey: A New Era.”

Plot details are under wraps but the new film follows in the footsteps of 2022’s “A New Era” and 2019’s “Downton Abbey” movie, both continuations of the acclaimed TV series that ran for six seasons.

Earlier this year, Mission Impossible star Simon Pegg began filming a British indie film that is a period piece about incarcerated women in an asylum. However, it seems the project, which made it halfway through production, is in jeopardy of no longer happening.

Deadline reports that production on Angels in the Asylum, which stars Pegg and Katherine Waterston, had to shut down due to a lack of funding. The report claims that the British indie film began filming without enough financing for the entire shoot, so it now has to halt filming about halfway through the project. In February, it was 15 days into a month-long production window, but now the cast and crew must wait until the producers find enough financing to restart principal photography. Deadline says there is no idea when cameras will begin rolling again on Angels in the Asylum as the $6.4 million production looks for new funding.

Exclusive: Angels in the Asylum, a British indie film starring Simon Pegg and Katherine Waterston, has stopped shooting indefinitely after running out of cash midway through production, Deadline can reveal.

Angels in the Asylum was mounted without its financing fully in place and had to halt filming in February, 15 days into a month-long shoot. There is no clarity on when the £5M ($6.4M) production might restart as producers scramble to bring in new finance.

Angels in the Asylum set out to tell an important story about women incarcerated against their wishes, but has created a messy legacy in which crew members are said to be owed at least £600,000 in wages. A portion of cast pay was ringfenced in an escrow account under Equity union agreements.

Inspired by true events, Angels in the Asylum co-stars Minnie Driver, Lesley Nicol, Rose Williams, Aurora Perrineau, and Alex Jennings. Cush Jumbo and Miriam Margolyes were originally attached.
