To celebrate the final installment in the Downton Abbey story with Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, we had the pleasure of catching up with some of the incredible and wide-ranging ensemble about the final farewell.

DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRAND FINALE, the cinematic return of the global phenomenon, follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s. When Mary finds herself at the centre of a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the entire household grapples with the threat of social disgrace. The Crawleys must embrace change as the staff prepares for a new chapter with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future. Starring: Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Elizabeth McGovern, Paul Giamatti, Penelope Wilton, Jim Carter, Phyllis Logan, Laura Carmichael, Harry Hadden-Paton, Joanne Froggatt, Allen Leech, Robert James-Collier, Lesley Nicol, Sophie McShera, Raquel Cassidy, Kevin Doyle, Michael Fox, Dominic West, Arty Froushan, Joely Richardson, Douglass Reith.

We sat down with Phyllis Logan (Mrs. Hughes), Jim Carter (Mr. Carson), Raquel Cassidy (Phyllis Baxter), Kevin Doyle (Mr. Molesley), Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley), Harry Hadden-Paton (Bertie Pelham), Allen Leech (Tom Branson) and director Simon Curtis (Director) to talk about bidding farewell to the series and films, what filming for the last time was like, cherished memories and the series’ impact across the globe, tea drinking, embacing the 1930s, missed guest stars they wish had visited the Abbey and much more.
