Matthew Goode, beloved for his role as Henry Talbot in Downton Abbey’s final two seasons, has sadly confirmed he won’t be returning for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. The reason? A busy schedule filming Netflix’s Department Q alongside a recent knee surgery that’s kept him sidelined.
Set to hit cinemas on September 12, 2025, this eagerly awaited film promises to pick up where the beloved series left off, delving deeper into the Crawley family’s life in the turbulent 1930s. While fans eagerly await more plot details, the story is expected to explore the personal and societal challenges facing the family during this transformative era.
And just to clear things up — Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale isn’t a new TV season but a feature-length film, so no multiple episodes here, just one cinematic farewell.
