‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’ streaming debut gets Peacock premiere

<p>Twelve years since it first premiered, television hit 'Downton Abbey' is back with a second stand-alone film about the fictitious Crawley family and their servants running a sprawling English country estate in the early 20th century.</p>

<p>Set in 1928, 'Downton Abbey: A New Era', released in U.S. cinemas on Friday, sees a film crew arrive at Downton as well as some family members travel to the French Riviera.</p>

<p>"We wouldn`t be coming back... if we didn`t actually get on and enjoy the company of each other`s characters and indeed playing the characters," actor Hugh Bonneville, who plays patriarch Robert Crawley, told Reuters.</p>

<p>The film, directed by Simon Curtis, begins with Crawley`s mother, Lady Violet, played by veteran Maggie Smith, surprising her family with news she has inherited a villa in the south of France from a man she met decades earlier.<br />
Led by Crawley, the family heads off to visit the property. At the same time, a film crew sets up at Downton Abbey, delighting the staff.</p>

<p>Having a film set within a film set was fun - and a little confusing sometimes, said Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary.</p>

<p>“I remember a couple of times when I was confused as to who was saying `cut`," she said. "Simon was like `we were still rolling, actually there. It was Hugh that said `cut`."</p>

<p>Newcomer Hugh Dancy plays Jack Barber, director of silent movie 'The Gambler.'</p>

<p>"It was a little daunting because you don`t know what the culture of a show is going to be and... it`s obviously defined by the people involved," Dancy said on joining 'Downton Abbey'.</p>

<p>"And it was exciting because I was just thrilled to be part of it."</p>

<p>"It`s dangerous to say this, but I think most people who`ve worked on it have had a pretty good time and that feels like enough to me. But we`ll see. I don`t think you can ever tell really."<br />
