Set in 1928, this film follows the Crawley family on a journey to the south of France to uncover the mystery of the Dowager Countess's newly inherited villa. After the release of the first film in 2019, Fellowes and the cast stated that they already had ideas about doing a sequel. In January 2020, it was reported that Fellowes would begin working on the film, and later that September, it was revealed that the script for the film had been written. Filming began in mid-April 2021, and ended in July, with a production budget of $40 million. The title was announced the following month. Downton Abbey: A New Era premiered at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on 25 April 2022 and was released in the United Kingdom on 29 April and in the United States on 20 May by Focus Features. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $92.7 million worldwide. The third and final film, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, was released on 12 September 2025.
