Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is a lavish curtain call for the British period drama series after 15 years
DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRAND FINALE (PG13) 124 minutes, opens on Sept 11
The story: Once a society darling, Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) finds herself shown out the door at the Petersfield Ball — the highlight of the English aristocratic social calendar — when news of her recent divorce surfaces. Now a shamed outcast, she finds solace in Downton Abbey. But the fate of the beloved Yorkshire estate is also at stake when the Crawley family faces financial troubles.
After 15 years and 52 episodes over six seasons of the popular British show, plus two other big-screen spin-offs, it is time to draw the lavish curtains on Downton Abbey with this last hurrah.
Fans have lapped up the slice-of-life period comedy-drama about the aristocratic Crawleys and their servants living in the titular opulent 18th-century estate.
