Another "Downton Abbey" movie is the Christmas gift you're getting, but didn't know you needed
SalonIf there's anything the past year has shown us, it's that there's nothing like a period drama to offer the escapism we crave. With elaborate costumes, dated speech patterns, and social mores that feel simultaneously quaint and out-of-touch with our reality, it's really no surprise that shows like Netflix's randy Regency-era "Bridgerton," the charmingly bucolic "All Creatures Great and Small" and even chess drama "The Queen's Gambit" were smashing successes. As Salon critic Melanie McFarland wrote, "'Downton Abbey' is basically designed to take the edge off of 2019 life, the visual equivalent of half a Valium chased by a flute's worth of champagne." Joining the new "Downton Abbey" cinematic universe will be "Hannibal" star Hugh Dancy, Laura Haddock, Nathalie Baye, and Dominic West. The film's Christmas release could coincide with the new season of "Bridgerton" – which first debuted last Christmas to great success.
