Will there be a Downton Abbey season 7?

Fans of the British historical drama series Downton Abbey were delighted with the series for the six seasons that it aired. Netflix currently has all six seasons available to stream. It was a series that allowed a peek into the lavish country estate life of the Crawley family during 1912-1926. Of course, fans are curious if there will be a Downton Abbey season 7.

The Crawleys are an aristocratic family during a period of time when massive country estates were falling by the wayside. Labor reforms were such that hiring a full-time live-in staff to handle the estate became harder to manage. During the time period of the series, the Crawleys struggled during the first world war, the Spanish Influenza, and the rise of the working class.

Downton Abbey showed the lives of the wealthy Crawley’s and their domestic servants and their lives during working hours and their personal lives. Fans of the series enjoyed a bit of escapism into a lifestyle they would otherwise never experience.

Is Downton Abbey season 7 happening?

Sadly, there is no plans for a seventh season of Downton Abbey.

Luckily, fans also have the Downton Abbey films to watch and continue their love of this series. In 2019, the first film was released, with many of the original cast reprising their roles. The film picked up soon after the season 6 finale with a visit to Downton from the King and Queen. The Royal staff takes over the estate, and an assassin also shows up to kill the monarch.

This film debuted with $31 million, topping the box office and marking the largest opening in Focus Features’ history.

Next, Downton Abbey: A New Era will be the second sequel film in the franchise. The release date is set to hit theaters on March 18, 2022. Again, we will see many of the original cast reprising their roles, and of course, new characters will also be added. New faces will include Hugh Dancy, Laura Haddock, Nathalie Baye, and Dominic West.

The teaser trailer does, in fact, show a new era, and things get quite exciting as the Dowager Countess shares some shocking news.
