A New Era: Downton Returns

04/19/22 • 36 min

As we return to Downton Abbey, we enter a new era where the world of Downton is in flux. We’ll speak to the cast and creators of this new movie to see what the future holds and re-cap on the many cliff-hangers from the last film. We’ll go behind the scenes to hear how they brought the film to life and we’ll also get an inkling of who - or what - may be coming to Downton to disrupt the natural order of things.

Downton Abbey in Context

Set at the end of the roaring twenties, but with the shadow of political divisions beginning to build in Europe, we’ll explore the historical context that the characters of Downton find themselves in.

We’ll go behind the scenes with some of the most established members of upstairs and downstairs to discover how changes in society and culture have affected their characters in this new installment. We’ll quiz Downton’s historical advisor on the role of women, the writer on the twists and turns of the plot and what underlying historical moments will be responsible for reshaping the future of all.
