As of yet, there isn’t a streaming service that includes Downton Abbey: A New Era as part of its content library, but if you don’t mind renting then there are several options available.
For instance, A New Era is available to stream on Prime Video as a ‘Home Premiere’ rental. Alternatively, you can rent the film on Apple TV, Sky Store or Rakuten TV – it all comes down to which service you prefer.
Down Abbey: A New Era Cast
Almost all of the show’s main cast return for A New Era, including Hugh Bonneville as the patriarchal Lord Grantham, and Maggie Smith as the ever-devious but never dull Dowager Countess. There are a few new additions to the roster however, including Laura Haddock as the starlet Myrna Dalgleish, and her director Jack Barber, played by Hugh Dancy.
What is Downton Abbey 2 about?
After the first Downton Abbey film ended with Tom’s engagement to Lucy, A New Era opens with their wedding ceremony. Just as the family welcomes its latest addition, the Dowager Countess comes to inherit a villa in the south of France from an old flame. The circumstances behind this inheritance lead to a mystery that could have huge ramifications for the people at Downton.
