Downton Abbey Season 3 premieres Sunday, january 6 on PBS
Downton Abbey returns to PBS on Sunday night and fans are counting down the aristocratic minutes to the third season premiere of the popular British drama.
Although Season 3 of Downton Abbey has already aired in the UK, fans across the pond in the United States will finally see their favorite show on Sunday night. The Crawley family and their staff return with a few new faces in the Abbey mix, including the introduction of Lady Rose MacClare (Lily James) and staffers Alfred Nugent (Matt Milne) and James “Jimmy” Kent (Edward Speleers).
In the third season of Downton Abbey, life continues after the end of World War I. Lady Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay) and Tom Branson (Allen Leech) got married and are now expecting a child. Lord Grantham’s investment in a railroad causes a crisis while Mr. Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens), who is busy planning a wedding to Lady Mary Crawley (Michelle Dockery), could save everyone with his newly acquired inheritance.
On Twitter, fans tweeted their plans in preparation of the Season 3 premiere. We picked out a few of our favorites who are obviously diehard fans of Downton Abbey.
