New on Starz December 24: Downton Abbey: A New Era

If you’re sad that The Gilded Age‘s second season is over, and you’ve already binged your way through the final season of The Crown, the 2022 film Downton Abbey: A New Era, which makes its debut on Starz this week, is the perfect period drama to fill your blue blood-pumping heart. (The film even features several actors from The Crown, including Imelda Staunton and Dominic West.) The film is a direct sequel to 2019’s Downton Abbey film, and picks up as the Crawley family enters 1928 by traveling to a French villa that the ailing Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) inherited and renting out their home to a film crew which leads to drama, chaos, and hijinks under their roof.
