Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale has a brand-new tease and things are changing for the fan-favorite period drama. The first words spoken in the latest Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale teaser is “Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 1930.” So, the world is changing under our favorite characters’ feet this time around. It’s been two years in storytime since we’ve seen the Downton Abbey cast in these roles. Most fans have been following the Crawleys for almost two decades in real-life.

September 12 will bring some finality as Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale races into theaters. The concept of the future looms large in the new movie. It’s a new decade with fresh challenges for the Crawleys. You can even feel the weight of that change in this teaser. There’s a tender moment where Michelle Dockery’s Lady Mary gazes at a portrait of the beloved Maggie Smith. (Fans were sad when the Dowager Countess actress passed away late last year.) So, time is fresh in everyone’s minds. How will the Crawleys adjust to the rapidly approaching future? Take a look down below!

What Are The Crawleys Up To?

Here’s how Focus Features teases the upcoming film: “DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRAND FINALE, the cinematic return of the global phenomenon, follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s. As the beloved cast of characters navigates how to lead Downton Abbey into the future, they must embrace change and welcome a new chapter.”
