Focus Features unveiled Wednesday the first look at “Downton Abbey 2”.

Officially titled “Downton Abbey: A New Era”, the movie is the follow-up to the hit 2019 movie, the spinoff of the popular TV show that bears the same title.

The 2019 movie witnessed the first return of the Crawley family since the hugely successful “Downton Abbey” series ended in 2016, which followed a royal visit to Downton and an assassination attempt on the King of England.

It allocated more than $194 million from a budget estimated at $13-20 million.
