Downton Abbey Series 2
28th July 2011
Julian Fellowes' hit drama Downton Abbey is back for a second series this autumn with all the regular cast including Dame Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Brendan Coyle, Joanne Froggatt and Dan Stevens.
Returning to Downton Abbey in 1916, we see the effects of The First World War on the lives of the Crawley family and the servants who work for them.
The new series sees the return of all the much loved characters whose intertwined lives are rendered more complicated by wartime and its impact on the great house itself.
And when the storms of war have finally cleared, will the way of life known by all the inhabitants of Downton have changed forever?
New faces joining the cast of Downton Abbey include Amy Nuttall, Iain Glen, Zoe Boyle, Maria Doyle Kennedy and Cal Macaninch.
Downton Abbey is a Carnival Films production, written by Julian Fellowes, executive produced by Gareth Neame and produced by Liz Trubridge.
