The doors to Downton Abbey are opening one last time — and this time, it’s for goodbye. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finaleofficially premieres in theatres on September 12. As part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event, we are pleased to accept an RSVP from Elizabeth McGovern's Cora and Laura Carmichael's Lady Edith Grantham as we exclusively debut a new image from the final installment in the long-running franchise.

After more than a decade of upstairs-downstairs drama, witty remarks, romantic entanglements, and historic milestones, it all comes down to this: one last gathering, one final bow. Set in the early 1930s, the film picks up as the Crawleys — and the loyal staff that make Downton tick — confront a new world changing rapidly around them. But if the trailer makes one thing clear, it’s that not everything has changed. The clink of silverware, the rustle of gowns, the warm glow...

The official trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale finds Mary courting controversy as the franchise comes to a close. Set for release in September, the upcoming film will find the Crawleys facing an uncertain future at the dawn of a new decade.

Coming off the success of 2019's Downton Abbey movie and its 2022 sequel, The Grand Finale is confirmed to be the final installment in the hit franchise, and it will feature much of the core cast from the original television series. This includes Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, Joanne Froggatt, Phyllis Logan, and more.

On Monday morning, Focus Features unveiled the full trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. The footage reveals fresh plot details for the movie, with the biggest being that Mary is officially divorced from Henry Talbot (Matthew Goode). Check it out below:

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.

The universe has been kept alive with a movie franchise, but the third big-screen installment will serve as its last.

At least, that’s what we’re being told for now.

There have been rumblings for years that Downton Abbey could return to the small screen with a limited series.

But for those who are interested in saying goodbye, the official trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grande Finale hints at every storyline concluding.

The first footage features a tribute to Dame Maggie Smith, who passed away in 2024.

Of course, Downton Abbey: A New Era said goodbye to Smith’s Violet Crawley, with a poignant death.

Focus Features has finally unleased the first real look at Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, the third and final film in the movie series based on the PBS period drama created by Julian Fellowes. The film hits theaters September 12.

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.

The teaser starts with the group at the races with Jim Carter, playing butler Mr. Carson, welcoming attendees into the year 1930. Newcomer Dominic West is tuxedo-ed up at a lavish bash in London and Mary (Dockery) wows with a bright red dress and tiara in front of photographers as she exits a car.

“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.”

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.

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,...

“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.

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.”

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.

Back in 2019, it was announced that Ben Wheatley would be writing, directing, and executive producing Generation Z, a “hilarious, frightening, and political” series that would consist of six hour-long episodes that would “mix flesh-eating zombies into a story that satirizes how Brexit has divided the UK.” That project didn’t make it into production when it was originally supposed to because of the pandemic shutdown… but after making Meg 2: The Trench (you can read our review at This Link and check out our interview with the filmmaker Here), Wheatley circled back around to Generation Z. The show started airing on Channel 4 last October… and now, it has been confirmed that it will not get a second season.

Deadline broke the news that Generation Z has been axed because, while the network was “understood to have had high hopes for the show and it was touted at the Edinburgh TV Festival,...

Downton Abbey may seem like an unending franchise at this point, 15 years after it first debuted as an acclaimed television series that crossed the Atlantic and found a big American audience. If you take the cast and crew's word for it, though, Downton Abbey 3 will be the final iteration of this historical drama which has tracked the lives of different families and classes at the turn of the 20th century.

As such, the mood on set was somewhat bittersweet. Michelle Dockery, who has starred in the show as Lady Mary Crawley since the beginning, recently spoke with MovieWeb about returning to the franchise with Downton Abbey 3, which comes to theaters on Sep. 12, 2025. "Well, I mean, going into this last one was like..." Dockery trailed off. "First of all, to do one film was incredible for us. To now look back and we've done a series and three movies is just incredible.

Earlier this year, the world lost a true treasure when Dame Maggie Smith passed away at the age of 89, but her legacy will live on in the new Downton Abbey movie that’s slated to release next year. Smith starred in the original series as Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, and reprised the role twice more in two feature films: 2019’s Downton Abbey and 2022’s Downton Abbey: A New Era. Sadly, art imitated life in the last film, which saw her character pass away peacefully two years before Smith died in real life.

Per TV Line, Downton Abbey 3 is slated to release on Sep. 12, 2025, and the outlet caught up with executive producer Gareth Neame to discuss how Smith’s passing affected the film and its story. Though Smith died after filming was complete, he said it added more weight to the scenes that have the actors mourning...

Downton Abbey 3 will pay homage to the “end of an era” with the loss of the Dowager Countess, which has now taken on greater significance following the death of Oscar-winning actress Maggie Smith, executive producer Gareth Neame said.

Speaking to TVLine in a recent interview, Neame said the film — due in theaters Sept. 12, 2025 — will feature the cast and crew’s “huge respect for her … come across in the next movie.” He added, “We will never see the like of Dame Maggie Smith ever again.”

“The fact that Dame Maggie herself has now passed away since that time, I do think, has given a real added poignancy to a story that we would have planned anyway,” the Emmy winner and former BBC exec said. “The loss of the Dowager, it now feels far more significant that you see actors playing characters mourning the family matriarch. But I also see actors...

TV show villains can make or break a series, and when the writers and creators don't give them the time they deserve to grow and change, it affects the entire structure of the show. While the protagonists and heroes are typically given the most time and focus, villains are just as important to the story because they act as a foil to the hero, providing further insight into both of their psyches. Plenty of supporting characters in TV shows are better than the heroes, as main characters rarely get to be as morally ambiguous as side characters or villains.

The rise of antiheroes being the focus of TV shows has increased the attention and care that villains get on television, but that doesn't mean all antagonists are treated equally. Additionally, TV's best-redeemed villains are frequently discussed because a well-crafted redemption arc is a complex but rewarding aspect of TV. How...

The upcoming third Downton Abbey film will pay tribute to Dame Maggie Smith, who portrayed Violet Crawley throughout the popular television series and films. Dame Maggie, who passed away in 2024 at age 89, had already completed filming her scenes prior to her death.

Hugh Bonneville, who plays Robert Crawley, recently discussed details about the upcoming film. He said the movie will serve as a “great lasting tribute” to Dame Maggie and her legacy within the Downton Abbey franchise. According to Bonneville, wrapping up all the character storylines in this final installment will give fans a “proper” conclusion.

The film is set to resume at Downton Abbey and will focus on saying goodbye to all the beloved characters, including a special farewell for Dame Maggie’s Violet Crawley. Producer Gareth Neame echoed that the film aims to honor one of its most important stars. Fellow producer Julian Fellowes wrote the screenplay to provide closure for the fans.

Supernatural horror movies have a way of getting under viewers' skin with curses, ghosts, demonic possessions and all the fascinatingly terrible occult-related fears. From The Ritual to Mama to The Exorcist, these movies have a reputation for being a little bit too scary. Even for nonbelievers, the extremely terrifying ones can have long aftereffects.

Many fans have reported being kept up all night after watching certain movies. Though what scares one person may not be the same for others, fear is something that everyone can relate to. In many cases, fear can be infectious.

The Ritual Dives Into Forest Fear

Without flashy jump scares and flat characters, The Ritual builds its horror on suspense, giving just enough glimpses while letting viewers' imaginations run free. Besides being probably one of the scariest movies out there, The Ritual is also highly rated. It keeps viewers up at night not only because of the horror,...

Five years ago, it was announced that Ben Wheatley would be writing, directing, and executive producing Generation Z, a “hilarious, frightening, and political” series that would consist of six hour-long episodes that would “mix flesh-eating zombies into a story that satirizes how Brexit has divided the UK.” That project didn’t make it into production when it was originally supposed to because of the pandemic shutdown… but after making Meg 2: The Trench (you can read our review at This Link and check out our interview with the filmmaker Here), Wheatley circled back around to Generation Z. The show is now ready to start airing on Channel 4 in October, and in anticipation of the premiere, Empire has unveiled two new images. One can be seen above, and the other can be found at the bottom of this article.

The show is described as “a coming-of-age parable for our very...

Apart from trying to avoid back-to-back Stephen King, trust me, he will be coming back this year as its kind of inevitable, I also like looking at modern horror adaptations. This is two-fold as the internet has done the 80s and 90s to death but also because there are some genuinely original and fantastic IPs that have yet to get the spotlight they deserve. The most recent example of this is The Ruins which is a horror one hit wonder from Scott Smith, yeah, he did other things but that was his only horror novel, and that’s a cool and original piece. The Ritual wasn’t one of those immediate releases where the book was churned into a movie before the book had time to cook and it is the only adaptation from a very U.K author’s works. While the movie did extremely well on Netflix and...

Every year there are new, notable horror movies, such as 2024's Abigail, an odd but effective mash-up between thriller and creature feature. There are hundreds of great movies within the genre that have received exceptional reviews and developed a strong following. There are even those that don't initially perform well among critics but are beloved by a strong, specific audience.

Since many horror movies have an ominous or mysterious quality, many viewers are content to watch them once or twice and then move on to the next new thing. On the other hand, there are some memorable and impactful flicks that never get old, even if the viewer knows every twist, jump scare, and freaky scene. These are the rewatchable horror movies that are an unforgettable influence on audiences.
