"And with that I will say goodnight and leave you to discuss."

A new era beckons for the Crawley family. And big changes are in store!

The teaser trailer for Downton Abbey: A New Era hints that life has moved on at Downton since the series and the first movie — for the better!

Love is in the air for Tom Branson (Allen Leech) who appears to be getting hitched in the trailer. As for the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith), she's "come into the possession of a villa in the south of France" as the result of a connection with a man she met before the Earl of Grantham was born. Um, what happened there then?

Also, has anyone seen Henry Talbot (Matthew Goode) — AKA Lady Mary's husband? His name is conspicuous by its absence from the cast list.

All shall be revealed when Downton Abbey: A New Era opens in cinemas on March 18, 2022.
