The new Downton movie is released to watch at home today!

Based on ITV’s hit period drama series, the highly-anticipated sequel finally arrived in cinemas this spring.

The film is now available to rent online via Amazon Prime for $19.99 in the US.

This is great news for fans who’ve not been able to visit the cinema – or just if you want to watch it again in the comfort of your own home.
