We’ve been counting down the days until the new Downton Abbey movie will premiere, ever since it was officially announced last July. And even though the release date is finally within sight (Sept. 20th), we could hardly wait to reunite with our favorite British family, the Crawleys.

What perfect timing that this sneak peek occurred on our 32nd anniversary. I am a huge cinephile and an enormous fan of this television series.
The film was primarily shot in London and at Highclere Castle in Hampshire (which was the main filming location for the television series, too). Filming began in September 2018 and was finished by the end of November. Woo hoo!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming Downton Abbey film has sold more advanced tickets than any other drama this year.
I wll tell you that this film surprassed any/all of our expectations. Wow. If it's on your list of movies to watch, make certain you arrive early. The recap is amazing (and helpful). I won't say anymore! But oh my gosh, so worth the wait!
And if you need more Downton Abbey, before the movie's release, I highly recommend you read the blog written by the actual (current) Lady of the House, Countess Carnarvon.
