Lily James is leaving 'Downton Abbey'.
The blonde beauty, who plays Lady Rose in the hit ITV period drama, will depart the show after the upcoming fifth series in order to promote her leading role in Disney's new blockbuster adaptation of 'Cinderella'.
Bosses at the film studio have requested Lily, 25, make herself available to plug the movie's release next Easter - which would clash with filming of the sixth series of 'Downton'.
Show creator Julian Fellowes has vowed to leave the door open for Lily, however, and her character won't be unceremoniously killed off like Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) and Lady Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay).
In fact, producers have urged Lily to return for the show's Christmas specials and will concoct a storyline to explain her absence from the sixth series.
A source told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Lily's young and adds balance to the family upstairs."
Lily plays the titular role in the new live action adaptation of 'Cinderella', which boasts an A-list cast including Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, 'Game of Thrones' hunk Richard Madden and Helena Bonham Carter.
The Disney film is directed by screen and stage veteran Kenneth Branagh.
An insider said: "It's a very important film for Disney and you can understand them wanting their leading lady to be available to promote it."

Helen Flanagan has landed a role in 'Holby City'.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress will play a lazy agency nurse named Kirsty in an episode of the BBC medical drama airing in July and she is thrilled to have landed the part.
She said: "I'm really pleased to be working in a show I really enjoy."
Oliver Kent, 'Holby City's executive producer, added: "We're delighted to have Helen on the show. She's going to ruffle some feathers.
"So it's definitely an episode to watch."
The 23-year-old beauty recently admitted she struggles to be taken seriously as an actress following her stint on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' in 2012.
She said recently: "I've got a few projects coming up. Reality TV ... I trained as an actress but because I went into the jungle I think sometimes it's hard for people to take you seriously as an actress.
"I'm really open-minded but I am actually a natural born actress, it's my character. But it's because I've done reality TV, and I do enjoy my modelling work. I just like to do things I enjoy, I live for now, I don't think ahead too much."

Susanna Reid is fearless now she's competed on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The popular breakfast TV host says she'll "never be nervous" again following her appearance on the celebrity ballroom dancing competition, because performing each week to a live audience helped her overcome any worries she had about her new role fronting 'Good Morning Britain'.
She told Radio Times magazine: "I don't dread anything. Even the early morning alarm clock. When you have done 'Strictly Come Dancing' live on a Saturday night in front of millions, I'll never be that nervous again."
Susanna also insists she is looking forward to hearing both positive and negative reviews from viewers of the new morning show, which she hosts with Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher.
She added: "I want to know what people are thinking - I want them to email in, especially if they're not thinking positive things. And audiences are really keen about emailing in and telling you. You get used to that. I love it; people engaging with what you do is what you want as a broadcaster."

Steve Jones thinks 'The X Factor' USA was at its best when he hosted it.
The Welsh hunk, who was famously axed from Simon Cowell's singing competition after just one season in 2011, thinks the first season of the show was better than the two subsequent ones hosted by Mario Lopez.
'The X Factor' USA saw many changes over its three years on air - before being cancelled by FOX earlier this year - but Steve thinks Simon should have stuck with the original judging line-up which consisted of himself, LA Reid, Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul.
He told Star magazine: "I would have stuck with the original cast, but the formula was changed and the American audience didn't embrace it."
Quizzed about his opinion on the show's axe, he added: "I don't really think about it. I enjoyed the first series, then we parted ways. I'm just proud to have been part of the best series."
The 37-year-old star admits he never really got to know Simon Cowell, 54, during his time on the show but has "no hard feelings" about being fired.
He said: "I didn't really hang out with him. He'd go back to his house, chill out, scheme! I've always liked him, though."
Steve, who has now returned to the UK after moving to Los Angeles for the show, says he can't see himself replacing Dermot O'Leary on the UK 'X Factor'.
He explained: "That's Dermot's show. 'The X Factor' didn't set my world alight. Those shows are entertaining but I like to use my brain a bit more."

'The Voice' reject Bob Blakeley thinks the show's judges picked "shoddy" singers over "good" ones.
Coaches will.i.am, Kylie Minogue, Sir Tom Jones and Ricky Wilson expressed regret for not turning around as the former cab driver gave a rousing performance of 'Cry Me a River' during the blind auditions of the latest series and Bob - who has had the last laugh by landing a record deal - believes they were "overcautious" in their selections.
He said: "I just thought they were overcautious, the judges, really. They let a lot of us go, good singers ... and let some go through, who to be fair, were pretty shoddy. They were flat when they were singing."
Despite not advancing in the competition, Bob has praised 'The Voice' staff for treating him like a "human being" after a bad experience auditioning for rival show 'The X Factor'.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'd had a go at 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'The X Factor', and the last time I did have a go, I was treated pretty shoddily at 'The X Factor'.
"Me and my wife, we went to Old Trafford, and we got there at 10 o'clock in the morning and it was at about 10-to-10 at night that we got seen. I managed to get through to the next day, went in this room, and there was this young girl sat there - I'd say she was between 19 and 24, 25 - and as soon as I sang my song, she put her hand up. She said, 'I'm sorry, you're not what we're looking for.'
"'The Voice' people and staff treat you like a human being - they treat you like family, that's how good they are. Every single one of them treat you really well."
Bob has also warned that pop princess Kylie's departure from the BBC singing competition could be "detrimental" if bosses fail to secure another big star to replace her.
He added: "She's got her own business to take care of. But it will be detrimental to the programme - she's a massive, massive star. You've got to get a big name, they've got to be on the same sort of level as Kylie."
Bob's debut album 'Performance' is out on May 19.

Adam Garcia is returning to the 'Got to Dance' judging panel.
The Australian hunk will star alongside Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Banjo on the latest series of the Sky One dance competition series.
Adam, 40, briefly left the show last year and was replaced by JLS star Aston Merrygold.
'Got to Dance' will see a major format shake-up for its fifth series as the three judges will each mentor teams of six dance acts in the competition.
Kimberly, Adam and Ashley will select their favourite acts from the auditions to compete on their teams and will coach them through the three live semi-finals and the live final in August.
Adam said: "I'm thrilled to be back on the 'Got to Dance' judging panel and can't wait to work with Kimberly and Ashley again. However, this year we're going head-to-head as we're picking our favourite acts to mentor. I'm so excited that for this year we'll be able to work so closely with our chosen dancers and really invest in every aspect of their act."
This year's auditions will move to The Roundhouse in Camden, north London, while the live semi-finals and the live final will emanate in front of a crowd of 6,000 at London's Earls Court Arena.
In a further twist, all three judges will take control of one semi-final show each, controlling everything from the choreography, styling, music and lighting used in the episode.
For the first time, the live shows will air across a single week on Sky One in August.
Davina McCall will once again host the competition.

'EastEnders' star Nitin Ganatra enjoys Masood Ahmed's "darker" side.
The soap star's beloved postman character will experience another downward spiral after discovering his girlfriend Jane Beale (Laurie Brett) has cheated on him with grieving ex-husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).
Jane breaks up with Masood over the phone and leaves Albert Square, resulting in Masood getting into a heated confrontation with Ian - who is still coming to terms with the death of his daughter, Lucy Beale.
Nitin explained: "She finished with him for her ex, as did Carol, as did Zainab ... so we're beginning to see a pattern here. Jane and Masood have had this ongoing love story - two people wanting to be together but can't."
Speaking about the scene between Ian and Masood, he added: "It took us all a bit by surprise, we read the script and we went, 'Ooh, that's a bit strong given the man's just lost his daughter.' I think the soaps stay alive if you keep the characters evolving. I had a lovely time playing a darker side of Masood, which was very well received. If characters become predictable they become stagnant and they don't evolve."
The 46-year-old actor also revealed that his legendary co-star June Brown - who plays Dot Branning - struggled to pronounce his character's name when he joined the soap.
In an interview with ITV's 'This Morning', Nitin quipped: "She went, 'Hi, I'm June Brown. So you're playing the character Masood ... how do you pronounce that?' And I said, 'Masood.' And she said, 'Oh, I'll never get that right. I'll call you Mazmood.' And that was it. She came up with the name Mazmood and it stuck."

Simon Cowell has been urged to axe Louis Walsh from 'The X Factor'.
ITV bosses have asked the 54-year-old music mogul - who is set to make a comeback on the singing contest alongside Cheryl Cole this year - to get rid of the veteran judge, who has appeared on all 10 previous series, to ensure the panel is "strong" in the new series.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "What we've said is we want the panel to be as strong as it can be and if that means getting rid of people who have been on it before, so be it.
"The show is going through a creative renewal with Simon and Cheryl Cole back, so it's only right we make it as good as we can.
"It's not just Simon's show - it's ITV's, so we have a big say.
"It was ITV boss Peter Fincham that helped broker the deal for Cheryl to come back."
However, it seems Simon is keen to have Louis back.
A source added: "Lots of people have been spoken to about 'The X Factor' panel, but that's just to find the fourth judge, not replace Louis.
"Simon wants Louis back but he's conscious he has to play along with ITV's wishes. It's hard enough finding one new person, let alone two, so he's confident he'll get his way."

Oliver Proudlock likes to keep his romance separate from 'Made In Chelsea'.
The reality TV star excludes himself from the dramatic love dramas that co-stars Jamie Laing and Spencer Matthews get entangled in, and he's admitted it's because he's dating model Grace McGovern off-screen.
Despite claiming she could appear on the E4 show in the future, Proudlock is keen to keep their relationship private for now.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I don't have romantic storylines as I have a girlfriend off the show. Right now we're happy keeping our relationship away from the camera. But I wouldn't rule it out in the future."
The 27-year-old fashion designer - who previously admitted he'd like to make a spin-off show with his co-stars and close pals Jamie Laing and Francis Boulle - has his own label Serge DeNimes, which he'd like to showcase at London Fashion Week, but he's confessed he wouldn't ask any of his co-stars to feature in the catwalk show.
He said: "I'd love to show at London Fashion Week next year. But I wouldn't get any of the 'Made In Chelsea' cast members to model, though."
