Downton Abbey 2 follows up on the first film, which came out in 2019 and was a big hit at the box office. Both movies continue the story laid out in the series, which ran for six seasons on PBS and ITV. The titular fictional estate in Yorkshire is home to the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants. The drama depicts the lives of the Earl of Grantham, Lady Grantham and their daughters, as well as butler Mr. Carson, housekeeper Mrs. Hughes and other staff members. Downton Abbey: A New Era brings back most of the principal cast members from the series and the first movie, including Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess and Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary. It’s written by creator Julian Fellowes and directed by Simon Curtis. The movie has two major storylines. The first revolves around a villa in the south of France, which is mysteriously inherited by the Dowager Countess. Lord Grantham leads a group of family members across the Channel to check it out. Meanwhile, back at home, Lady Mary hosts a film crew, including a handsome director and temperamental actors. Here’s everything you need to watch Downton Abbey: A New Era on Peacock.
