With only ten days until Downton Abbey‘s return, a brand-new full series 3 trailer has been released online!
The trailer gives us more Maggie Smith and Shirley MacLaine goodness, but also gives us some darker glimpses at Bates’ life in prison and some of the (many) love triangles, squares and cubes that will dominate the new run of episodes. It was released by ITV late last night, and will air on the broadcaster’s various channels over the coming weeks.
Check it out below!
“The secure, serene and ordered world of Downton is rocked by passions below the surface and there are changes above and below stairs.
“The third series, set in 1920, sees the return of all the much-loved characters in the sumptuous setting of Downton Abbey.”
Downton Abbey returns to United Kingdom screens on Sunday Sept. 16 – series 3 will air on PBS Masterpiece next January.
