It’s time to bid goodbye to Downtown Abbey for the final time with The Grand Finale on the big screen. 

Downtown Abbey dominated the ITV schedules for six seasons between 2010 – 2015, winning a worldwide following.

Since then, it has jumped to the big screen. Following Downton Abbey (2019) and Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022), the story is set to conclude with a third and final outing due in UK cinemas this September.

While details are scant on the plot of Downtown Abbey – The Grand Finale, but we know that the storyline will see the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s.

The film comes from writer Julian Fellows and director Simon Curtis, and reunites many of the cast. We can expect to see Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Michelle Dockery, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Phyllis Logan, Robert James-Collier, Joanne Froggatt, Allen Leech, Penelope Wilton and Lesley Nicol.

Also returning are Michael Fox, Raquel Cassidy, Brendan Coyle, Kevin Doyle, Harry Hadden-Paton, Sophie McShera, Douglas Reith and Dominic West.

New faces for the movie include Joely Richardson, Alessandro Nivola, Simon Russell Beale and Arty Froushan. Plus Paul Giamatti, who also appeared in an episode of the television series.

Downton Abbey – The Grand Finale is released by Focus Features on 12th September 2025.
