When is ‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society’ on Netflix in the US?

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society debuts on Netflix in the US this summer, featuring no less than four former stars of Downton Abbey.

Starring Downton‘s Jessica Brown Findlay (Lady Sybil), Lily James (Lady Rose), Matthew Goode (Henry Talbot) and Penelope Wilton (Isobel Crawley), the movie was released in cinemas in the UK in April.

It was announced last month that the film, based on Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer’s 2008 historical novel, will bypass theatres in the US and will be released straight onto Netflix.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society will be available to watch on the streaming service from Friday August 10.

Watch the trailer:

Lily James plays free-spirited writer Juliet Ashton, who forms a life-changing bond with the delightful and eccentric Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, when she decides to write about the book club they formed during the occupation of Guernsey in World War 2.

Downton Abbey: The Complete Collection is available to buy now.

The Downton Abbey movie is expected to begin filming this summer.
