“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.
The cast for “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale” includes 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 and Douglas Reith.
