PBS has released new videos of the cast of Downton Abbey looking back on season 2 and discussing what is to come in season 3. Minor spoilers ahead.
The hit British drama Downton Abbey will premiere its third season on Jan. 6 on PBS Masterpiece. Until then, PBS has put together a few preview clips for American fans hungry for more of the Crawley family and their unflagging staff.
The first of these clips features Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley), Elizabeth McGovern (Cora), and Michelle Dockery (Mary) discussing the changes undergone by their characters (and the world they live in) during season 2. The preview also includes a few short clips from season 3, focusing particularly on Shirley MacLaine, who will portray Cora’s American mother and is sure to make waves in the Crawley’s deeply English attitudes.

In the second clip, Michelle Dockery discusses the evolution of her character through the lens of her resistance-to-romance relationship with cousin Matthew.
