Eventually, familiarity forms, and characters become friends, so if you skip the series and watch the films by themselves, then you miss that experience. If there's something we love about a television show, it's becoming invested in its characters - especially when it comes to a series like Downton Abbey. It worked very well as a standalone film, but of course, being familiar with the characters is always a bonus. Although many high-profile members of society had visited Downton before, this was very much a crescendo to the series. Set in 1927, the family hustle and bustle in preparation for the arrival of King George V and Queen Mary. The previous film Downton Abbey (2019) was produced once the series itself had finished and was directed by Michael Engler( The Chaperone). Dancy has a tendency to play dreamy characters, from Prince Charmont in Ella Enchanted (2004) to Luke Brandon in Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009). Playing the young film director, Jack Barber, the character sets up his crew to film at Downton under the watchful eye of Mary Crawley (Dockery). A new addition to the cast who didn't partake in either the series or the previous film is Hugh Dancy. Taking the reigns is hard for a woman in a man's world, but Mary strives to be a dragon force and a pillar of strength for her family and staff. ![]() The modern world arrives at Downton, with a film cast and crew setting up to work at the exquisite home. ![]() Meanwhile, Mary (Michelle Dockery) takes charge at home as chaos ensues. When Lady Violet (Maggie Smith) is bestowed a villa in the South of France, the family makes the trip to discover secrets that have been hidden for decades. It's not often that viewers get a change of scenery when it comes to the television series, but this time audiences are traveling beyond the luscious grounds of Downton and venturing as far as France. ![]() This is the second feature film that is an extension of the popular series and the first directed by Simon Curtis ( Goodbye Christopher Robin). Most of the original cast is back at Downton with the likes of Maggie Smith ( Harry Potter), Hugh Bonneville ( Paddington), and Michelle Dockery ( The Gentlemen) leading the team. If you feel like your life is missing some glam and luster, then look no further than Downton Abbey: A New Era. ![]()
