Focus Features Reveals First Downton Abbey The Grand Finale Trailer at Cinema Con 2025

⚠️ Spoilers ⚠️

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 late Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess is also lovingly framed. The first two Downton movies grossed over $287M combined globally.

But as one generation passes to another, the trailer notes that it is “time to say goodbye,” and closes with a shot of Lord Grantham giving a fond, possibly farewell pat to Downton Abbey. Will the film see the family leave behind their beloved home? “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale” hits theaters Sept. 12.

Then, finally, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale: Begins on a horse track with a shot of the Crawleys. Carson announces, “Welcome to 1930.” We see Lady Mary and Edith a few times. Then one by one each of the original cast return to Downton Abbey, with Lady Mary dressed in all red. Several shots of parties and everyone celebrating. It ends with Robert kissing his hand and then placing it on the side of the Abbey.

In the footage shown, the cast of Downton Abbey walks onto a field and the audience are welcomed by an announcer to 1930. Taken from cinemas to playhouses, the period piece makes you feel like you’ve time traveled. Then, we’re back at the castle, with a painting on the wall paying homage to Maggie Smith. The friends and family members gather and celebrate for their final farewell.

Focus Features presented the first look the sequel as part of Universal’s presentation to theater owners and executives at CinemaCon, and it offers some of the upstairs, downstairs drama that’s made this series so beloved — only this time everything is done in a more elegiac key. It’s 1930, and Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) is mostly seen enjoying herself in London’s high society. For the rest of the short teaser, Lord and Lady Grantham (Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern) are shown walking around the grounds of the estate, touching bannisters and stone pillars with an air of finality. As for their loyal servants, they are seen raising a glass to each other, as if to pay tribute to each other for all the immaculately washed linens and perfectly arranged plates of cucumber sandwiches.

Finally, there’s Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, which is billed as the last film of the franchise. The entire cast is back, including 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, Simon Russell Beale, Dominic West, Penelope Wilton, Arty Froushan, Joely Richardson, Paul Copley, Douglas Reith. The teaser takes place in 1930 and hints that the film is about the Crawleys coming to terms with leaving the Abbey behind. I unabashedly love Downton Abbey, so it will be hard to say goodbye. The finale is set to hit theaters on September 12th. Series creator Julian Fellowes penned the script, with Simon Curtis directing.

I love thomas but why do some of the characters act like what he did to jimmy wasn’t assault? When bates said “why are you being such a big girl’s blouse about it” why do you think 😭 thomas had been making him uncomfortable for weeks and then he woke up in the middle of the night to him kissing him like ofc you’d freak out and be angry. It’s a normal reaction even without the added layer of attitudes towards gay people in those days. They can never make me hate thomas barrow he’s my favourite but that was all handled so weirdly by the other characters

Similar to mary and kemal. She denied that he forced himself on her when we clearly see him do that in the episode

The writing on this show is always questionable

Thomas Barrow is cat coded in this way too. Found him in the trash and adopted him

[thomasbarrowmybeloved]

That bit in the Thomas bathtub scene why is miss Baxter patting his face with a towel?? Like he doesn’t have a fever? And his face looks dry anyway I just feel she’d have better use of her time yk putting pressure on a gushing wound :/

Ugh

I still get angry when watching Downton 1 bc what do you mean Mary thinks it's alright to replace Thomas with Carson just bc SHE thinks he's overwhelmed with the whole ordeal
