Want to see more of the cast? Go inside the world premiere in London; take a peek at what the stars look like in real life (and out of those 1920s costumes); read up on which cast members are coming back—and learn which character definitely isn’t; and then preview what the actors are doing next.

Need to prepare for the film? Here’s how to catch up on the TV show, and if you want a sneak peek, several clips have been released that give you a taste of what's to come. Here’s one featuring Mr. Carson and Lady Mary, another shows the set from a dog’s perspective, and a third serves as a reunion between Harry Potter’s Maggie Smith and Imelda Staunton.

If you’re a superfan… Check out this guide to the very best Downton Abbey-themed gifts; take a photo tour of the real-life Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle; and read up on how Maggie Smith spends her time on set (spoiler alert: she loves playing bananagrams).

Downton Abbey hits theaters in the U.S. on September 20. Tickets are on sale now.
