Downton Abbey: A New Era follows the Crawleys and their staff as they welcome a movie crew and their glamorous stars to Downton for the filming of a new silent movie. Meanwhile, other members of the family go on a grand adventure to a villa in the south of France to uncover a mystery about the Dowager Countess and her past. It reunites Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Raquel Cassidy, Brendan Coyle, Michelle Dockery, Kevin Doyle, Michael Fox, Joanne Froggatt, Harry Hadden-Paton, Robert James-Collier, Allen Leech, Phyllis Logan, Elizabeth McGovern, Sophie McShera, Tuppence Middleton, Lesley Nichol, Maggie Smith, Imelda Staunton, and Penelope Wilton from the original cast. Those new to the franchise include Hugh Dancy, Laura Haddock, Nathalie Baye, and Dominic West.
The screenplay was written by Downton creator Julian Fellowes, who produced it with Gareth Neame and Liz Trubridge. It was directed by Simon Curtis. Nigel Marchant serves as executive producer, and Mark Hubbard is co-producer. It was produced by Carnival Films (part of NBCUniversal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group), with Focus Features and Universal Pictures International distributing.
