Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern, 63, looks worlds away from her usual glamorous self as she films scenes for new show The Talamasca

by

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that it’s always fascinating to see our beloved actors and actresses stepping out of their comfort zones and into new roles. Elizabeth McGovern, who we all know as the graceful Cora Crawley from Downton Abbey, is now taking on a completely different character in The Talamasca.

Actress Elizabeth McGovern, well-known for her role in Downton Abbey, appeared quite different from her glamorous ITV persona during the filming of The Talamasca television series in Manchester on Wednesday.

In the cold New York City-like settings, the actress, aged 63, who stars as Cora Crawley in the cherished period drama, sported her own silvery hair freely flowing and kept warm under a sleek black trench coat.

Elizabeth was noticed walking down the street, contributing to the dramatic performance that forms a part of AMC’s Anne Rice Immortal Universe, which also includes “Interview with the Vampire” and “The Mayfair Witches.

Even though there were many intense moments on set, the actress occasionally revealed a brief, charming smile amidst the takes while the movie crew gathered around.

Drawing inspiration from the novels of Anne Rice, the narrative will delve into the clandestine organization known as the Talamasca, a group dedicated to locating and managing the worldwide presence of witches, vampires, and various other supernatural entities.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m excited to share that in an upcoming series, I’ll be stepping into the shoes of a character named Helen. This role is not just any ordinary part, but a deeply experienced member of the Talamasca, serving as the head of its New York Motherhouse. So buckle up and join me on this fascinating journey!

Her character is further detailed as she harbors a growing suspicion that the Motherhouse in London may have been compromised by treacherous forces. A puzzling demise sparks her decision to take on Guy Anatole as her protege.

Additionally, Elizabeth finds herself involved in the production process of the upcoming Downton Abbey film sequel alongside her fellow actors, Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville, and Laura Carmichael.

Over the past few months, the cast has faced challenging times following the passing of Maggie Smith, who brought the beloved character Violet Crawley to life in the show.

Maggie, known for her portrayal of Minerva McGonagall in seven out of eight Harry Potter movies, sadly passed away at the age of 89 on September 27. This news has sparked an outpouring of tributes as celebrities and fans alike express their sorrow over this tragic loss.

During summer, it was announced when the third Downton Abbey movie would be released, as filming commenced in Yorkshire.

Worldwide release of the new movie is scheduled for September 12, 2025, as confirmed by Universal Pictures UK through an Instagram post.

“The headline for this announcement states that the next movie in the popular Downton Abbey series will have its premiere exclusively in theaters on September 12, 2025.

In July, the actors appeared cheerful when they gathered once more on set at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate to shoot their scenes.

Details concerning the plot of the forthcoming movie, penned by Julian Fellowes and co-produced by Gareth Neame, Fellowes, and Liz Trubridge, are currently kept confidential.

Nevertheless, it is likely that events will unfold according to the narrative arc of A New Era, a period that concluded around the end of the 1920s with the sad demise of Lady Violet, the family matriarch in the Crawley household.

Actress Imelda Staunton hinted at an early reveal that the series will continue with a third movie, confirming it as both the penultimate and concluding film in the series.

The showrunners subsequently verified it, revealing plans for a third movie in the cherished Downton Abbey series.
