Focus Features has pushed back the release of “Downton Abbey: A New Era” two months and the sequel will now be released on May 20, the company announced on Wednesday. The sequel was previously dated to be released on March 18. While plot details for the film have been sparse, writer Julian Fellowes told People that Lady Mary continues to run Downton as the mother of the next Earl of Grantham. “As we know from the last film, Mary may not be the titular head of the household, but she is effectively running the show. We take that further,” Fellowes said. “We’re trying to mark the change — the fact that Crawleys of Downton are nearly in the 1930s, which is merely the beginning of the modern world.” “Downton Abbey: A New Era” stars Bonneville, Carmichael, Jim Carter, Brendan Coyle, Dockery, Kevin Doyle, Joanne Froggatt, Matthew Goode, Hadden-Paton, David Haig, Geraldine James, Robert James-Collier, Simon Jones, Leech, Phyllis Logan, Elizabeth McGovern, McShera, Tuppence Middleton, Stephen Campbell Moore, Nicol, Kate Phillips, Maggie Smith, Imelda Staunton and Penelope Wilton. Newcomers to the TV series-turned-film franchise include actors Hugh Dancy, Haddock, Nathalie Baye and Dominic West.
