Downton Abbey’s Grand Finale Finally Gets Digital, 4K, and Blu-ray Release Dates

Downton Abbey is taking one last bow at home. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has laid out the plan for the third and final film’s digital and disc rollout, plus a big legacy box set for the diehards. Since opening in theaters on September 12, the movie has quietly piled up $77 million worldwide and is sitting at 92% Certified Fresh, which makes it the best-reviewed installment of the franchise. Not a bad note to go out on.

"This sensational motion picture finale brings 15 unforgettable years of heartfelt drama to a close and is the must-have story of the season."

Release timing

Here’s how the send-off lands at home: you can rent or buy the film digitally starting Tuesday, September 30. The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions follow on November 11, 2025.

What the movie’s actually about

Set as the Crawleys step into the 1930s, Mary gets dragged into a public scandal right as the family’s money problems flare up. With social disgrace looming, everyone upstairs and downstairs has to adapt fast, while the staff readies for a handoff to the next generation. It’s very much a final chapter energy: endings, transitions, and a nod toward a modern world these characters don’t fully recognize.

The extras you get at home

• Changing times: The cast and filmmakers break down how the shifting era nudges everyone toward believable, hopeful endings.
• Society season: A look at the Crawleys navigating the London season, that tradition-heavy stretch of high-society events, and how those set pieces come together on screen.
• Authenticity, obsessively: The team (with historical advisor Alastair Bruce) shows the detail work that keeps the period feel locked in.
• A farewell to fans: The cast and creatives say thank you and get a little sentimental about the long run.
• High tea send-off: Hugh Bonneville hosts a cast celebration with stories, confessions, music, and a world-exclusive scene to toast the finale.
• Feature commentary: An audio track with director Simon Curtis and Elizabeth McGovern.

The big box set

If you want the whole saga on your shelf, the Blu-ray exclusive 'Downton Abbey: The Ultimate Legacy Collection' also arrives November 11, 2025. It’s a 24-disc set with all three films, all six TV seasons, and over 13 hours of bonus features. It’s packaged as a 52-page book with a foreword by series creator Julian Fellowes, plus behind-the-scenes photos, costume and set design sketches, and more. If you’re all-in on Downton, this is the coffee-table flex.
