VIDEO Downton Abbey final season trailer - time to say goodbye
If you weren’t emotional about it already this trailer is guaranteed to bring a tear or two.
The show debuted on ITV in the UK in September 2010, and went on to earn rave reviews. Its popularity in Britain was perhaps a foregone conclusion but the show really took hold in the USA and abroad, becoming one of the most watched dramas in the world. It’s earned Golden Globes glory and picked up a massive host of Emmy nominations.
But all things must come to an end and everyone involved is planning a huge send off for the series, including the huge cast of returning players. Season six will have eight main episodes and the finale will actually be the last ever Christmas special at the end of 2015. That episode will show the lives of the Crawley family on Christmas Day 1927 - thirteen turbulent years after we first met them in 1914.
