The film is scheduled to be released on 18 March 2022.[1][2][3]

Actor Matthew Goode, who played Henry Talbot in the TV series and in the first film, has not been confirmed as a cast member for this film. He does not make an appearance either in the trailer or in the teaser.[4]

Production

After the release of the first film in 2019, creator Julian Fellowes and the cast stated that they already had ideas about doing a sequel.[10] In January 2020, it was reported that Fellowes would begin working on it after he finished scripting drama series The Gilded Age.[11] In September 2020, Jim Carter, who plays Carson, said that the script for the sequel had been written,[12] and in February 2021, Hugh Bonneville, who plays Robert, stated in an interview with BBC Radio 2 that once the cast and crew had been vaccinated for COVID-19, the film would be made.[13]

Principal photography was originally scheduled to take place from 12 June to 12 August 2021, in Hampshire, England,[14] but Deadline Hollywood confirmed production started in mid-April 2021.[5] On 16 July 2021, Elizabeth McGovern announced on Instagram that she had completed filming.[15] On 25 August 2021, the film's title Downton Abbey: A New Era was announced.[16][17]

Casting

The principal cast of the first film are expected to return. Joining the cast are Hugh Dancy, Laura Haddock, Nathalie Baye and Dominic West.[5]

Release

Downton Abbey: A New Era was initially set to be released in cinemas on 22 December 2021,[18][19] before subsequently having its release date moved to 18 March 2022.[3] On 10 November 2021, a teaser for the new film was released. The trailer for the film was screened only in US theatres prior to the film Belfast, on the weekend of 12 November, and the trailer was released online and on television on 15 November 2021.[20]
