When Is ‘Downton Abbey’ Movie Set? Time Jump Revealed
December 20, 2018
“Downton Abbey” often had time jumps, so it isn’t surprising that the movie will pick up a while after the series finale left off. The Downton Abbey movie will be set in 1927.
Entertainment Weekly reports the highly anticipated film will pick up about 18 months after the series finale, which ended with the characters celebrating the new year on Jan. 1, 1926. The time jump should result in the “Downton” movie picking up around summer 1927.
