What is the release date of Downton Abbey 2?
Previously dated for a March 18, 2022, release date, it will now launch in cinemas exclusively in the UK on April 29, 2022 and in the US on May 20, 2022. The unfortunate delay was to ensure the film would be seen by as many audience members as possible.
The pandemic ran the risk of closing cinemas down again in late 2021 but thankfully that wasn’t the case. The production team behind the film have been well aware of this challenge since the original premiere date was confirmed.
Producer Gareth Neame said: “After a very challenging year with so many of us separated from family and friends, it is a huge comfort to think that better times are ahead and that next Christmas we will be reunited with the much-beloved characters of Downton Abbey.”
