After years of waiting, the residents of Downton Abbey are back for Downton Abbey: The Movie. Per the newly released trailer, the film is set in 1927, roughly 18 months after the television series concluded, and the aristocratic Crawleys are in the midst of yet another domestic crisis: King George V and Queen Mary are due for a visit and precisely no one is ready for the royal arrival. Enter Carson, who graciously agrees to resume service and help Lady Mary with the preparations. This being the late ‘20s, however, the pressure for the world of Highclere Castle to modernise is stronger than ever. (As Lady Edith’s husband Bertie declares, “It’s 1927 and we are modern folk.”) The question is, will the Crawleys finally decide to give up their way of life? Or will a traditional royal visit convince them to try and maintain the Abbey in perpetuity?

For those not quite up to speed on their royal history: King George V was Queen Victoria’s grandson and reigned from 1910 until his death in 1936. He married Mary of Teck, the future Queen Consort, and their children included King Edward VIII, who later abdicated the throne in order to marry glamorous American divorcee Wallis Simpson, and King George VI, who became the reigning monarch after his brother stepped down. George VI and his wife, Elizabeth the Queen Mother, were in turn the parents of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret. Unfortunately for the aristocratic Crawleys, both King George and Queen Mary were known for their strait-laced, and somewhat lacklustre, personalities. What will the Dowager Countess have to say to them?
