During these last few weeks, ‘Downton Abbey’ has become almost a classic of RTVE grill with the broadcast of the entire series. To finish off the farewell, we were also able to see the first film over the weekend and you can still see ‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’ in some theaters… But it doesn’t have to be a farewell at all and we can rewatch the series from the beginning for free.
Free, but not forever

The six seasons of the British series can now be seen on the streaming platform for free, also including the special Christmas episodes of each season.

You can already see the series on RTVE Play but only until next October 10, 2022. The 2019 film that connects with the end of the sixth season is also available on the platform, although in this case only until july 11.
