Downton Abbey 3 Hype Train
Downton Abbey became a worldwide phenomenon when it debuted in 2010. The television show ran for six seasons, consisting of 52 episodes, plus five Christmas specials. It was critically acclaimed during its run and won numerous awards and accolades. Two feature films have been released in theaters, one in 2018, which was followed by A New Era in 2022. The show is a cultural touchstone, having been parodied many times, and has a rabid fanbase. Also of note: four different cookbooks have been released tied to the show, all of them bestsellers.
I checked out when Dan Stevens did, so I cannot comment on anything after that fateful drive. I can say that within about ten seconds of this news breaking, my mother had already texted me about when tickets may be on sale. Such is the pull of Downton Abbey. I don't know how many of these films they plan on doing, but the first two combined for $286 million worldwide on pretty low budgets, so as long as Fellowes can find a way into another story, we will get more.
This third film will open in theaters on September 12th, 2025.
