The Crawleys are packing up and moving bag and baggage to streaming, and will open their doors on NBC Universal's Peacock starting on July 15. The series is merely exiting PBS for good. But this is not the real end of Downton Abbey. If your PBS station is anything like the ones near me, you've been seeing "The End of Downton" ads for the last six weeks. By the time the show went off the air with Season 6, it was PBS' most-watched program of the new century.īut all good things must come to an end. But even so, no one knew how big Downton Abbey would get, or that by the premiere of Season 3, it would land PBS the biggest ratings in history, ones that beat longtime broadcast staples. The series, previously known as Masterpiece Theater, had only rebranded two seasons earlier, with a format that made program offerings more inclusive, and more contemporary.
When Downton Abbey first debuted on Masterpiece in the winter of 2011, it was a game-changer for the longtime PBS program.
