LIFE GOES ON FOR THE BRITISH-AMERICAN PERIOD DRAMA
The third season has not aired on PBS in the United States yet. But U.K. network ITV has renewed drama Downton Abbey for a fourth season, with production set to begin in February on an unconfirmed number of new episodes to begin airing next fall. PBS, which will launch the season three episodes on Sunday, January 6, just featured a 90-minute special hosted by Angela Lansbury called Downton Abbey Revisited, which included a recap of season two and a preview of season three.
