Matthew Goode Explains Absence From ‘Downton Abbey 3’: “Maybe It’s A Good Thing”
Following Henry Talbot's absence from the latest 'Downton Abbey' movie, Matthew Goode has confirmed he won't be in the third installment either.
The Emmy nominee recently explained why he didn’t appear in Downton Abbey: A New Era(2022) after portraying Lady Mary Crawley’s ( Michelle Dockery) love interest in the 2019 feature continuation of the British historical drama series, which ran for six seasons from 2010 to 2015 on ITV and PBS. After Maggie Smith, who played Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, died at age 89 in September, executive producer Gareth Neame explained that the third film was made with the cast and creator’s “huge respect” for the late Oscar winner. “The fact that Dame Maggie herself has now passed away since that time, I do think, has given a real added poignancy to a story that we would have planned anyway,” said Neame.
