The Downton Abbey movie hits cinema screens in September, and on Tuesday fans were finally given their first look at the hugely anticipated big screen spin off from the TV favourite. The first trailer was unveiled, featuring all of the much-loved cast from the ITV show penned by Julian Fellowes, which aired its final episode in 2015 after six series. Picking up in 1927 (over a year after the endpoint of the series), the trailer is based on changing times, and sees the Crawley family and their staff preparing for a royal visit from George V and Queen Mary. They're back: The Downton Abbey movie hits cinema screens in September, and on Tuesday fans were finally given their first look at the hugely anticipated big screen spin off from the TV favourite The trailer opens with Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) asking his mother the Dowager Countess of Grantham (Maggie Smith) if she wants to stay for dinner, remarking 'it's a buffet.' The family matriarch is unsure though, exclaiming 'well I'm not changed,' only to be told she just needs to take off her hat for such a low-key occasion. 'You talk as if that were easy.' she quips. As the words 'They live like royalty but are they ready for the real thing?' flash up on screen, Lord Grantham is seen getting important post, revealing to his family 'Heavens, the King and Queen are coming to stay,' while his mother predicts 'here we go.' Royal visit: The first trailer was unveiled, featuring all of the much-loved cast from the ITV show, which aired its final episode in 2015 after six series It's a flurry of activity as both upstairs and downstairs prepare for the regal visit. 'A royal luncheon, a parade and a dinner? I'm going to have to sit down,' declares cook Mrs Patmore (Lesley Nicol). The film's new faces feature in the trailer as Killing Eve and Four Weddings star David Haig makes his first appearance as the King's butler, paying an advance visit to check things are in order. He is seen clashing with Mrs Hughes (Phyllis Logan) while a new French chef riles up Mrs Patmore. You've got mail: Lord Grantham is seen getting important post, revealing to his family 'Heavens, the King and Queen are coming to stay,' while his mother predicts 'here we go' 'The royal butler's terribly scary' decides Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) who takes matters into her hands by paying a visit to her beloved butler (Jim Carter) to ask the retired head of household to return to the Abbey to assist. 'I'll be there in the morning m'lady' he reassures her. Another new face is Tuppence Middleton, who plays Lucy the maid of another fresh character Lady Bagshawe, played by Imelda Staunton, who is seen having her own run in with the Dowager. Lucy is a new love interest for Tom Branson (Allen Leech) following the death of his wife Lady Sybil Crawley seven years previously. 'Might as well admit, I like her,' he delightedly tells sister-in-law Lady Mary, but the Dowager is wary, declaring 'She's a scheming little minx.' Grand entrance: The film's new faces feature in the trailer as Killing Eve and Four Weddings star David Haig makes his first appearance as the King's butler, paying an advance visit to check things are in order Help needed: Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) who takes matters into her hands by paying a visit to her beloved butler (Jim Carter) to ask the retired head of household to return to the Abbey to assist Familiar face: 'I'll be there in the morning m'lady' he reassures her, with the trailer hinting he has retired from service Lady Bagshawe doesn't agree, calling the Dowager's remarks 'piffle' which leads to a telling off from Lord Grantham who tells the pair 'there is no need to argue'. 'I never argue I explain,' says the Dowager in another of the trailer's one-liners. Downstairs there's even more drama as the staff feel put out when the royal butlers and maids take over the household. 'We want to defend Downton's honour' declares Anna Bates (Joanne Froggatt). 'We think we should fight back,' her husband Mr Bates (Brendan Cole) agrees, but a shocked Carson tells them 'this is treason!' The theme of change rings through the trailer as Lady Mary is seen questioning if the household will survive a new era. 'The last few days have made me think. What are we doing? Should we really go on with it?' she laments. 'Downton Abbey's the heart of this community, and you're keeping it beating,' her devoted maid Anna tells her. The trailer ends with the Abbey welcoming the King and Queen, played by Simon Jones and Geraldine James. 'Your Majesties welcome to Downton Abbey,' welcomes Countess of Grantham (Elizabeth McGovern). Despite the royal arrival, the spotlight falls on the Dowager who is forced to accept a hand from the King who asks her 'can I help you' when her curtsy goes wrong, telling him: 'Someone must sir, or I may never rise again.'
