ITV has dropped a trailer for the final season of its flagship period drama, DOWNTON ABBEY, which may leave you in tears…
Fans of the hit TV show, prepare to feel the eyes water, as the teaser alone is certainly an emotional one – and that is before the series has even started! DOWNTON ABBEY’s final season starts Sunday, September 20th in the UK and makes its way to the US on Sunday, January 3rd. From the trailer alone we are already feeling pangs of sadness, happiness and excitement for the episodes ahead.
Very little has been given away with regards to the plot during this series other than it being set in 1925. The teaser above does presage more change at the Abbey as Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville) tells Mr Carson (Jim Carter), “If I could stop history in its tracks, maybe I would. But I can’t, Carson, for neither you nor I can hold back time.”
The trailer also throws up some intriguing questions: Does Edith (Laura Carmichael) have a new man? Does Mary (Michelle Dockery) have a new man?! Does Thomas (Rob James-Collier) have a new man?! Does everybody have a new man?!
DOWNTON ABBEY will light up our screens for a final series on September 20th.
