Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is all set to hit the theatres on September 12. The film follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter a new era of the 1930s, also the one where Lady Mary Talbot (Michelle Dockery) finds herself at the centre of a public scandal. The family faces the concerns of financial trouble, all while the entire household grapples with the threat of social disgrace. 
Directed by Simon Curtis, this edition of Downton Abbey transports viewers to the Crawley family and the household servants enjoying the glittering London Season in the summer of 1930. As the festive elite gather at Lady Petersfield’s Ball – the highlight of the social calendar – a shocking announcement brings Mary to the centre of public scandal: newly divorced, her aristocratic identity redirects her from the position of society darling to shamed outcast. Alongside the family’s financial worries, they are also dealing with the aftermath of this newly minted divorce being publicised.

Talking about the film and what the audience can expect, Curtis shared, “This film is a loving portrait of the characters as they enter the 1930s, and we really dig into the characters’ emotions at the end of the story we’re telling. I was thrilled because, as a director, I simply love working with actors, and this is the greatest ensemble of British actors around. And then you add the amazing guest stars we’ve got, and it’s a dream come true.”
