Downton Abbey is a British television series that original aired on British network ITV and the United States television broadcasting network PBS with its first episode airing on December 26, 2010, and its last episode airing on Christmas day of 2015. The show revolves around the Crawely family during the Edwardian Era (1901 to 1910). It takes place in Britain and incorporates the major events during the Edwardian Era like the First World War. Downtown Abbey is known to have the most international television series Primetime Emmy Awards nominations. It has received 27 nominations.
