About the Show

Highclere Castle

The award-winning series from celebrated writer Julian Fellowes spans 12 years of gripping drama centered on a great English estate on the cusp of a vanishing way of life. Downton Abbey follows the Granthams and their household of servants through sweeping change, scandals, love, ambition, heartbreak, and hope. “Downton Abbey became a massive cultural phenomenon,” says Vulture. “One too popular, acclaimed, and firmly entrenched in our popular culture to ignore.” Don’t miss this Emmy®, Golden Globe®, SAG Award®, Producers Guild® and BAFTA®-winning drama series.

All six seasons of the acclaimed period drama originally aired on MASTERPIECE on PBS. The stellar ensemble cast features Maggie Smith (Dowager Countess of Grantham), Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham), Elizabeth McGovern (Cora Crawley), Michelle Dockery (Mary Crawley), Laura Carmichael (Edith Crawley), Brendan Coyle (valet John Bates), Joanne Froggatt (Lady’s maid Anna), Allen Leech (chauffeur Tom Branson), Sophie McShera, (kitchen maid Daisy), Lesley Nichol (cook Mrs. Patmore), Jim Carter (head butler Carson), Phyllis Logan (head housekeeper Mrs. Hughes), Rob James-Collier (butler Thomas Barrow) and Kevin Doyle (butler Joseph Molesley), among many others.
