DOWNTON ABBEY

FRIDAYS, MARCH 5-26, 7 PM

Thanks to the support of our donors, we’re able to bring back one of the most popular series in PBS history. Since its U.S. premiere in 2011, Downton Abbey has become a cultural phenomenon. For six seasons, viewers were enthralled with the lives of the Crawley family and their domestic servants at Highclere Castle as led by Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham, and Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham. And now, it’s back! Join us as we relive the first season with the “upstairs” and “downstairs” characters, including the always on-point one-liners from Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, as portrayed by Dame Maggie Smith.
