Downton Abbey is almost over forever, but there's one last film to see Julian Fellowes' beloved characters off in style.

Following a tear-jerking teaser in early June, a new trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale follows A New Era, and focuses on the titular estate being passed from Robert Crawley, 7th Earl of Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) to his daughter Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery). But EGADS! The word "divorce" splashes around this trailer, promising to thwart her inheritance and social standing altogether. The 1930s sure were a Time for women.

You'll see all your favourite characters return, importantly remembering those who've left us. It's going to be emotional — it always has been at Downton.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is in cinemas Sept. 12.
