Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery Revealed An Alternate Ending For The Grand Finale, And I Agree With Her On Why The Final Version Is Better

While the second *Downton Abbey* film was titled *A New Era*, the release of *Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale* in 2025 truly delivered on that idea of a fresh start. The movie concluded with Lady Mary Talbot, played by Michelle Dockery, officially becoming the head of the family estate. As she stood in the main hall, she reflected on cherished memories of loved ones who had passed away. Dockery recently shared a different possible ending to *The Grand Finale*, but she, like me, believes the final version was the stronger choice.
