It has been two years since fans were treated to the return of the beloved period drama Downton Abbey in feature-length form - and the official word around the manor is the film's sequel FINALLY has a teaser trailer!

When the long-running series left our screens in 2016, fans of Downton Abbey were delighted to see all of our favourites characters from the original TV show, including Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville), Violet Crawley (Maggie Smith), Mary Crawley (Michelle Dockery), Anna Bates (Joanne Froggatt) and Cora Crawley (Elizabeth McGovern), return to the big screen.

And now fans will be reunited with the much-loved characters in the sequel Downton Abbey: A New Era. 

The one-minute video shows Maggie's character telling her family that she has acquired a villa in the south of France.

The camera then pans to a stunning abode on the French Riviera which will no doubt see the aristocratic Crawley family travel to the idyllic location and provide a beautiful backdrop to the film.

In keeping with Downton's famously sumptuous style, fans can also expect plenty of dazzling glitz and glamour, some jazz and an opulent wedding.

Downton Abbey: A New Era will arrive in cinemas globally on March 17, 2022.
