Downton Abbey: A New Era is a sequel to the 2019 film continuation of the series of the same name. Julian Fellowes returns as writer, with Simon Curtis replacing Michael Engier as director.The 1930s are almost upon the Crawleys, and things have gone well since the previous film; opening with the wedding between Lucy Smith and Tom Branson. Two different bits of news come to light. The first is that, in the process of getting her affairs in order, the Dowager Countess discovers she's been left a villa in the south of France by a deceased acquaintance (who may have been a little more than just that) and Robert and Cora must pay a visit to the man's surviving family. The second is that a Hollywood film wants to use Downton as its next filming location for a month. Few are keen on the idea, but the money that's being offered will help fix the leaky roofs.Almost the entire cast returns, except for Lily James (who was also absent from the first film) and Matthew Goode. New cast members include Hugh Dancy as the director Jack Barber, Dominic West as Hollywood star Guy Dexter, and Laura Haddock as film starlet Myrna Dalgleish.It was released on April 20th 2022. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Myrna Dalgleish is patterned after Anny Ondra, a Czech actress and platinum blonde who appeared in some British films in the late silent era. Ondra, like Myrna, found that her career in British movies was over when sound came in. Also, Ondra was dubbed by a British actress in her first and last British talkie, Blackmail (directed by Alfred Hitchcock), in the same way that Lady Mary dubs Myrna's dialogue in this film. While Myrna heads off to America to make movies, Ondra went back to continental Europe and worked in French and German cinema. And if that's not enough, Alfred Hitchcock's Blackmail was changed from a silent film to a talkie in mid-production, just as Myrna and Guy's film is in this movie. Guy Dexter has elements of William Haines, who was gay and refused to have a sham marriage to hide it; living with another man and eventually giving up his Hollywood career for him. He also resembles Cary Grant, who had a classier stage name, and was rumoured to have had affairs with men. His career arc might also draw from Neil Hamilton, who was discovered for films due to his first career as an Arrow Shirt model. (Yes, Commissioner Gordon was a male model in his early career...) | |

Instant Expert: Guy Dexter turns out to be automatically good at looping his dialogue. And when Myrna can't and Mary has to dub her, so is she. Mr Moseley ends up becoming quite a gifted screenwriter, and is offered a Hollywood contract by the end. Averted and then played straight with Myrna. A suggestion that Myrna simply learn to do an RP accent is dismissed, since learning the accent is hard and people send years doing it. However, at the end a single coaching session from Cora the American citizen is enough for Myrna to learn an American accent good enough to take to Hollywood. | |

Fake American: In-Universe. It turns out that while Myrna the actress can't do an RP British accent, she can do a pretty good American accent. Her plot thread ends with Myrna resolving to go to Hollywood and play Americans in movies. | |

Fourth-Date Marriage | |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_35e077 | comment |
Fourth-Date Marriage: Thomas agrees to move to Hollywood with Guy Dexter in a relatively short period of time, and both clearly indicate their interest in a romantic relationship. Downplayed, however, in that Guy offers him a legitimate job and says that their relationship can mean as much or as little as Thomas wants, so the "marriage" aspect of the commitment is left up in the air. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Carson and Maud run into each other at a hat shop, and the owner mistakes them for husband and wife. Their actors, Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton, have been married for many years. While describing Matthew to Barber, Mary describes him as being like "a prince in a fairytale." Matthew's actor, Dan Stevens, had portrayed the titular Beast (a prince) in Beauty and the Beast (2017). Another one to Dame Maggie Smith in Clash of the Titans (1981) early in the film when Violet asks why everyone is leaning over her like Andromeda chained to a rock. | |

Bittersweet Ending: As the Grand Finale, this one features the actual death of the Dowager Countess Violet. Mary is left to cope with a strained marriage and the long-expected decline of the aristocracy, and Thomas ends up leaving his friends and Downton Abbey for a hopeful but uncertain future in Hollywood. That being said, every other character gets a less ambiguously happy ending, and even the temperamental Myrna may have a second wind in the talkies. | |

| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Carson and Maud are mistaken for a married couple at one point. Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton have been married since 1983. Carson recoils in disgust at the prospect of Downton being used as a film set and says that maybe next, they'll open it up for tourists. Highclere Castle has of course been open for tourists for many years, well before the Downton Abbey TV show. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Lucy Smith was a significant character in the previous film, but is delegated to a very minor role in this one, only having a handful of lines alongside Tom. Andy likewise had a subplot in the previous film, but has none in this film. There is a very minor subplot on Daisy and Andy wanting to live independently of Mr. Mason, with the solution being to have him finally get together with Mrs. Patmore, but this subplot is largely focused on Daisy. Although Rosamund returns, she has no bearing on the plot, in particular Robert possibly only being her half-brother. In the show Bates was one of the main characters and had a major plotline in every season. Here he only has a few brief scenes. | |

Rags to Riches | |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_c772e7c5 | comment |
Rags to Riches: Both of the Hollywood stars come from relatively modest means, Myrna most obviously; while Guy has a more respectable accent, Anna notes that he was working as a menswear salesman when he first arrived in Hollywood. | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman | |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_cce399 | comment |
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: When the film is converted to a talkie, the actors have trouble remembering what to dub over the already shot scenes. Mr Moseley's experience as a school master immediately proves useful. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: The in-universe film 'The Gambler' initially being silent and then converted to a talkie midway through, the male lead being fine for sound and the female having a thick accent she has to hide is one to Singin' in the Rain. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: You know it's getting close to the end for Violet when she starts being nice to her former rivals, and even acknowledges Isobel as a Worthy Opponent. | |

Aside Glance | |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_e8e3807 | comment |
Aside Glance: Isobel drops an epic one (possibly the first one in the entire franchise) when Violet understates "we've had our tussles, you and I," as if to say, "Did you hear what I just heard?" | |

| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_e90f5682 | comment |
But Not Too Gay: In contrast to the previous film showing York's underground gay club, and Thomas getting to kiss Richard Ellis, he and Guy never even share a kiss. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Downton Abbey: A New Era / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Over the course of six serieses of the main show and the first movie, Thomas suffers multiple failed relationships (some of which never got off the ground), the Great War, a beating, multiple threats of exposure and/or sacking, a suicide attempt, conversion therapy, an attempted arrest, and an actual arrest. In this film, he accepts the offer to work for a film star in Hollywood. Officially, he will be Guy's dresser; unofficially, they have the possibility to live as lovers more openly than they would in most places during this time period. | |

Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Subverted. Although Mary hits it off with Barber, and even says he reminds her of first love Matthew, she refuses to kiss him or even entertain the idea of giving up her responsibilities to Downton - even with her marital problems. | |
