Yes, You Will Be Able to Stream the New “Downton Abbey” Movie

It is nearly time to return to Downton Abbey. Three years after the primary “Downton Abbey” film revived the beloved TV present for the large display, “Downton Abbey: A New Period” follows the aristocratic Crawleys on one other glamorous journey. This time round, the cinematic journey to the English countryside may be simpler than ever to look at from the decidedly un-glamorous location of your very personal sofa, due to a brand new streaming settlement with NBCUniversal.

Formally, there is not any streaming launch date for the brand new film. Nonetheless, a brand new apply put into place by NBCUniversal may see the most recent adventures of the Crawley household out there for dwelling streaming sooner somewhat than later. In December 2021, “Deadline” reported that NBCUniversal launched a theatrical launch plan that will enable their motion pictures to start out streaming on Peacock as early as 45 days after their theatrical opening day. Common Footage (and its subsidiary Focus Options) are the principle producers and distributors behind “A New Period,” so we are able to safely assume that the film will fall below these new pointers.

“As we proceed investing in essentially the most valued and sought-after content material for Peacock, movies are important to that blend,” Kelly Campbell, Peacock president, mentioned to “Deadline.” “The group at Common Filmed Leisure Group are implausible companions and we’re excited to carry their superb slate of blockbuster movies and beloved franchises to Peacock as early as 45 days after their theatrical launch, and supply a gentle stream of contemporary, authentic movies completely for Peacock prospects all year long.”

So when does this imply dwelling viewers can stream “Downton Abbey: A New Period?” That can all depend upon what date will get used because the benchmark to start out counting these 45 days. The film will probably be launched nearly a full month earlier within the UK than within the US: British audiences can head again to Downton beginning on April 29, whereas American moviegoers must wait all the way in which till Could 20. It is doubtless that NBCUniversal will select to depend from the American launch date, particularly on condition that the 45-day window from then would put the Peacock debut on a movie-friendly weekend, too: July 4.
