Downton Abbey 2 Offers Lavish Look At Tom & Lucy's Wedding In BTS Clip
Screen Rant is thrilled to present a behind-the-scenes clipcelebrating the Canadian home release of Downton Abbey: A New Era, which will be available to own on Digital July 26 and on Blu-ray, 4K, and DVD August 9. As a follow-up not only to the first Downton Abbey movie in 2019, but to six seasons of a beloved television series, the film had a lot to live up to — and yet viewers were left satisfied.
Downton Abbey: A New Era follows the fan-favorite Crawley family on a new adventure, which takes Robert (Hugh Bonneville) and Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) to the South of France in order to learn about a mysterious villa that the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) inherited. Meanwhile, Mary (Michelle Dockery) holds down the homefront as a film crew steps in to make a movie on the property. Of course, Downton Abbey is a world of happy-ever-afters, and it's only natural that the film covers one which began in its last theatrical outing: the love story of Tom (Allen Leech) and Lucy (Tuppence Middleton).
