MOVIE NEWS – One of television’s most beloved period dramas, Downton Abbey, may soon be more than just a nostalgic memory — especially with The Gilded Age about to cross paths with it.

Julian Fellowes, creator of both series, has finally confirmed after years of speculation that the two shows will indeed intersect. The American characters from The Gilded Age will arrive in England, mixing with British high society in a storyline full of new twists.

This development suggests that the upcoming film Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale may not be the grand ending fans expected, but rather the start of a new chapter. As Fellowes puts it, no narrative thread is ever fully tied off — there’s always room to continue.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale – Hungarian release date: September 11, 2025.
