Join Stephanie and her guest Emily Heyden discuss the PBS Masterpiece series Downton Abbey with a look back on the show (that ran from 2010-2016) before discussing the recent news of the latest/third movie currently in the works. [Buckle up for spoilers!]

Downton Abbey is the home to the Crawley family as well as the staff who serves them (very much an upstairs/downstairs story). The show starts in 1912 with the sinking of the Titanic and the death of the heir to the Crawley family, which leads to a distant cousin, Matthew Crawley, a member of the working class, to become heir of the estate. From inheritance and maintaining Downton to scandals and WWI, there is so much conflict in the show (and it gets very addicting).

Emily would also like to note how much she loves the yellow labs on this show and can't believe she forgot to mention them :)

Downton Abbey is available on Prime Video, Peacock, Brit Box and, as always, your local library.

Featured Music: "Downton Abbey Suite" & "Love & the Hunter"
