Out of all the period dramas we've seen in the last decade, Downton Abbey truly stands apart from the rest. The series (and its post-finale movies) provided the perfect mix of family drama, politics, and incredible fashion. And it looks like we're heading to Downton once again! The third movie in the franchise is coming to theaters this year, and we can't wait to see the Crawleys on the big screen one last time. Here's everything you need to know about the new movie, and a link to some super soft tissues if you're still not over Matthew and Sybil's fates!

What is Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale about?
Focus Features
The Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale movie follows the next era of the Crawley family in the 1930s. Just like the pilot of the show saw Mary create some drama for the family, she "finds herself at the center of a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble," according to the official synopsis. The entire family and staff must "grapple with the threat of social disgrace," embrace change...and potentially say goodbye to Downton.
Where did Downton Abbey film?
PBS Masterpiece

Is Mary's husband in Downton Abbey 3?
Jaap Buitendijk/Focus Features
No, Mary's husband Henry (and actor Matthew Goode) won't be in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale because Matthew was shooting Dept. Q. “But I also buggered my knee, and I had to have an operation," he told Radio Times. "That takes weeks to get over, so I was never going to be able to do it. And let’s face it, [Henry] was edging towards becoming a bit of a wet lettuce. So maybe it’s a good thing.”
Is there a Downton Abbey: Grand Finale trailer?

Yes, the trailer for the third Downton Abbey movie is finally here! Check it out and stay tuned for more Downton Abbey news.
