The Grand Finale. The intelligent noblewoman, played by Michelle Dockery, appears to have everything under control in the new trailer for the third and final Downton Abbey film. However, her status — and future ownership of the titular Yorkshire estate — is called into question when it’s revealed that she and her husband Henry Talbot (Matthew Goode) have gotten divorced.

One notable character absent from the trailer is Maggie Smith ‘s Violet Crawley. The Dowager Countess of Grantham died at the end of 2022’s Downton Abbey: A New Era, two years before Smith passed away on September 27, 2024, at 89 years old.
