Creator Julian Fellowes understands that with Maggie Smith's passing, it is time to close out this familial era of the Earl of Grantham peerage in style with a third and final feature film, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. 

Downton Abbey gives us one more set of glorious 1930s-era hats to admire ahead of the original show's final send-off.

Focus Features has released the final-ever character posters for Downton Abbey's sprawling ensemble as the final film's debut approaches.

Whether it's the shot of Lord Grantham looking at his ancestral home for the last time or a Pavlovian response to the theme song's final variation, the Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale trailer will leave you sobbing.

Downton Abbey is returning for one more spin around the track in The Grand Finale, and the first teaser is off to the races.

The third Downton Abbey film is still several months out, but Focus Features has revealed the final film's key art and official title, the latter of which is quite appropriately "The Grand Finale."
