Samuel LoveWhile it remains to be seen whether or not this truly is the end for Downton Abbey (my money is on no), The Grand Finale is a fitting farewell to the beloved period drama series. Launching in 2010 on itv, Downton Abbey has gone on to be a worldwide smash-hit with six series, five Christmas specials, and three features – not bad for a cosy little period drama. This all-star, big-budget climax brings everyone together for one last hoorah, acting as both a send-off to Downton Abbey and a love letter to it. Very much made for the fans, The Grand Finale is a poignant, celebratory goodbye to one of the most successful television shows of all time.
Synopsis
The cinematic return of the global phenomenon follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s. When Mary finds herself at the centre of a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the entire household grapples with the threat of social disgrace. The Crawleys must embrace change as the staff prepares for a new chapter with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future.
