Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022)

The Crawleys return in style – with secrets, romance, and a journey to the South of France that changes everything…

When a mysterious inheritance leads Lady Violet to a villa on the Riviera, the family embarks on a sun-soaked adventure far from Yorkshire. Meanwhile, back at the estate, a film crew arrives to shoot a silent movie  , forcing the aristocrats to adapt to the new age of cinema. The contrast between tradition and change lies at the heart of this emotional and elegant sequel.

Maggie Smith once again steals the show with wit and warmth, while Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, and the rest of the ensemble shine in their roles. Lavish costumes, sweeping cinematography, and Julian Fellowes’ sharp writing deliver nostalgia and fresh drama in equal measure.

Review: A charming continuation that honors the series while offering something new. “A New Era” is heartfelt, humorous, and beautifully crafted — a true treat for fans and newcomers alike.
