Will Downton Abbey Movie Be on Netflix?

The beloved period drama Downton Abbey is making a big return to the big screen in the form of a feature film. Fans of the series have been eagerly awaiting the announcement of when they can watch the movie on Netflix. Unfortunately, it looks like they will have to wait a bit longer to hear that news.

The film is set to be released in theaters on September 20, 2019 and is sure to be a box office hit. While those lucky enough to get tickets for opening night will be able to watch the movie in theaters, those who opt for Netflix will have to wait until at least December 2019 for it to become available.

This isn’t too surprising as most major films are released first in theaters and then later on streaming services such as Netflix. This allows theater owners and studios to maximize profits from box office ticket sales before streaming services are able to offer them.

In addition, Netflix has yet to announce if it will even carry the film or not. The streaming giant usually waits until after a movie has been released theatrically before making any decisions about whether or not they will carry it. Even then, there is no guarantee that Netflix will get the rights for Downton Abbey.

Finally, there are other ways for fans of Downton Abbey who don’t want to wait until December 2019 or don’t want to go see the movie in theaters. They can rent or purchase digital copies of the movie when it becomes available on Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, etc.

Conclusion: While fans around the world are anxiously awaiting news about when Downton Abbey Movie will be available on Netflix, it looks like they may have to wait until December 2019 at least. Even then, there is no guarantee that Netflix will get the rights for Downton Abbey so fans may need to look elsewhere if they want to watch it sooner than that.
