Downton Abbey movie

Both upstairs and downstairs denizens of Downton glammed up for the sequel's New York premiere. See photos from the event here.

Several actors, including Christine Baranski, from Fellowes's The Gilded Age were also in attendance. Here, take a look at some of the nights biggest red carpet moments. While the film, titled Downton Abbey: A New Era won't officially hit theaters on this side of the pond until Wednesday, the stars of the beloved upstairs-downstairs drama hit the red carpet last night for the film's NYC premiere at Lincoln Center, and suffice to say that there were no dowdy maids frocks in sight.

A third film in the Downton Abbey series hasn't been confirmed yet, but series creator Julian Fellowes isn't entirely against it.

Whether there's another return to Downton in the future or not, it's been one memorable ride! For now, "Downton Abbey: A New Era" will likely place a cap on many of the storylines we've followed since the beginning of the series. "But I don't mind if it's run its course; I think that's fair enough, too . . . I think that's the test.

The actor talks about taking the English rite of passage of joining the cast of 'Downton Abbey: A New Era,' and the everlasting devotion of 'Hannibal' fans.

And just from a personal perspective, in terms of the opportunities that are there—not just for employment, but for rewarding and engaging complex jobs—that was a huge shift. Yeah. And now that there are so many opportunities, there are the complicated algorithms that we're not privy to—these opportunities are there and you can do the work, but it can feel like you're just being thrown out into the ether and you have no sense of if anybody's watching it. It was a great thing to work on for three years. People love the relationship between Will and Hannibal, and just love you both as actors. I thought it was funny, subversive, and a really good observation about an entire genre. I thought it would be fun to play, and that was it. There was a period when talkies suddenly became popular, which is depicted in A New Era. It made me think about where the industry is right now. Then I saw the wiggle room that she found to express certain little slivers of emotion in that English way, or slivers of humor. “I remember the borderline hysteria that greeted it when it first came out,” Dancy told W over the phone in early May. “I was in England briefly at the time of the first season and I just remember, you turn on the radio and it's all anybody was talking about. It was a lot to hold in one's mind. Yet people's ears were perking up: ‘Oh, Downton! That's exciting.’ Then I read the scripts, and apart from the fact that it took me about eight hours to get through it—because I didn't know who anybody was, I kind of did my research in real time via Google—I was also really aware of how skillfully Julian Fellowes knits these multiple storylines together. The first film came out in 2019 and on May 20, Downton Abbey: A New Era, which ushers its characters into the 1930s, hits theaters in the United States.

"We were filming outside—these sort of lunchtime scenes that look very casual and relaxed," actor Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley) told E! News, "But actually, we're all trying to hold our noses between takes because, yeah, things go off [rot] in the heat, as we know." "I think I speak on behalf of all of us that we'd all love to come back and do another." "I didn't know what to expect because you never know how it's gonna be like jumping in and joining something that's so established, but they were delightful." It wouldn't be a Downton Abbey movie without amazing costumes, which Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary Talbot) said were much more comfortable this time around thanks to the lack of corsets. With vintage pieces, the costume department had to work very hard to keep everything fresh." "I feel so proud because I think the hardest thing to do is to keep an idea like this going and make it fresh and still preserve all the things that people like about it," said Elizabeth McGovern, who returns as Countess Cora Crawley. "And I never thought it would be possible to go as far as we've gone, but I do feel that this movie, it's sort of brought the whole thing back to life.
