Elizabeth McGovern's 'The Chaperone' to Stream on PBS Passport

The film adaptation of Laura Moriarty’s The Chaperone, starring Downton Abbey alum Elizabeth McGovern, arrives on PBS Passport this August.

When Masterpiece Theater started back in 1971, no one could guess it would still be one of PBS' major anchors nearly fifty years on. But after decades of bringing high-end television adaptation of literary, well, masterpieces, to the small screen, the company is branching out to feature films.

Masterpiece Film's first theatrical release, The Chaperone, was produced in partnership with Fibonacci Films and had a short run in theaters back in March of 2019, following its initial premiere at the 2018 LA Film Festival. Now it is coming exclusively to PBS streaming this month.
