Home to the Crawley family for generations, Downton Abbey is at the heart of a changing landscape as World War I descends upon the idyllic world of its residents, threatening to change their lives forever.
As servant and master alike are called to witness the horrors of the front line as the full force of the war takes its toll, traditional community barriers start to transform and the boundaries between classes begin to fade.
With surprises and scandal around every corner, Downton Abbey Series 2 sees the relationships borne in Series 1 develop, and sacrifices of a personal and public nature transform the great house and its residents once and for all.
