'Downton Abbey' season 6 updates: Trailer released
The official trailer for the sixth season of British series "Downton Abbey" has finally been released.
With season 6 expected to end the series, the trailer revealed emotional scenes featuring Mr. Carson, Robert Crawley, Lady Edith, Anna Bates, Lady Mary, and the Dowager Countess, along with Lauren Aquilina's cover of "Time to Say Goodbye." It showed Mr. Carson, played by Jim Carter, packing up a suitcase. While it is unsure whether he will be leaving Downton or simply moving into a new house, it was evident that he was sad.
According to Huffington Post, director of the series Gareth Neame shared that the upcoming season will conclude the show in a manner that will not disappoint viewers. He said, "We wanted to close the doors of 'Downton Abbey' when it felt right and natural for the storylines to come together and when the show was still being enjoyed so much by its fans. We can promise a final season full of all the usual drama and intrigue, but with the added excitement of discovering how and where they all end up."
Season 6 of Downton Abbey will allow fans to receive closure with the story, as well as get to know more about the characters. For instance, it was reported by TVGuide that Mary will continue to handle the property as her sister deals with her own struggles while she works for a newspaper. In addition, the death of Mr. Green will finally be resolved.
Downton Abbey is a series that takes place in the 1925s, before the stock market crash. After several years, the series will be ending. However, Neame hinted that there is a possibility that the series will take a movie adaptation.
Downton Abbey season 6 will premiere in the United Kingdom this Sept. 20 and Jan. 23, 2016 in the United States on PBS.
