A program guide for members of Prairie Public Broadcasting January 2013
Masterpiece Classic Downton Abbey Season 3
“No family is ever what it seems from the outside.” The Dowager Countess of Grantham
THE GREAT WAR IS OVER and the long-awaited engagement of Lady Mary and Matthew is on, but all is not tranquil at Downton Abbey as wrenching social changes, romantic intrigues, and personal crises grip the majestic English country estate. Shirley MacLaine joins the muchloved cast, which includes Dame Maggie Smith, Elizabeth McGovern, Hugh Bonneville, Dan Stevens, Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter, Penelope Wilton, and many others.
This just in from Masterpiece executive producer Rebecca Eaton...
Downton Abbey Season 3 airs over seven Sundays beginning with a two-hour premiere on January 6 at 9:00 p.m. (CT) and concluding with a 90-minute finale on February 17.
“We’re thrilled to tell our millions of Downton fans that they can look forward to a fourth season of their favorite show.”
