Welcome to Downton Abbey, where the Crawley family and their servants provide classy British drama behind every door.

The original UK edition of "Downton Abbey: Season 2" marks the return of all the scandal and drama behind the façade of the Yorkshire country house belonging to Earl and Countess of Grantham. The second season starts off in 1916 during The Great War in Europe and chronologically progresses into 1919, as the men and women of the house battle love, betrayal and blackmail.

This DVD set gives loyal viewers an incentive to purchase, with bonus features including a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the hit period drama.
