Universal has released the new film 'Downton Abbey: A New Era' to Blu-ray both in the standard release as well as this special edition which contains several trinkets in addition to the film proper. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on what's included.

Within the attractive and embossed outer box is the basic Blu-ray, which is identical to the wide release (minus the slipcover) and three additional
goodies. First are four thick postcards themed around the film; they are suitable for mailing (with a place for addresses and a stamp on the rear) or
framing; they are very attractive. Next is a small color glossy booklet with a number of character portraits; there are no essays or writing beyond
identifying titles. Finally, also included is a two-piece tea strainer that series fans and tea drinkers will enjoy. It is silver and comes inside a small felt
drawstring
bag.

Instead of a SteelBook (which may very well release at a later date) fans can purchase this. There is no UHD option, however. It retails at about $18 more than the standard Blu-ray at time of publication) which is a bit steep for what's included. However, that tea strainer is very nice! Recommended for super fans and dedicated tea drinkers.
