Simon Curtis will also return to the franchise as director, after helming 2022’s Downton Abbey: A New Era.
The Independent’s two-star review of the second film, Downton Abbey: A New Era, likened it to “a dinner party guest that won’t shut up and go home”.
Since its end with series six in 2015, the show has been adapted into two feature films: 2019’s Downton Abbey and 2022’s Downton Abbey: A New Era.
Fasten your cufflinks and straighten your frocks – a third Downton Abbey film has been announced, with a star-studded cast set to welcome viewers back to the country estate once more.
