New guest star Shirley MacLaine, however, may go beyond interviews and simply begin tweeting "Downton Abbey" news for viewers.

 Maclaine, who joins the cast as Cora's mother, American "nouveau riche" aristocrat Martha Levinson, has already begun tweeting from the set.

"Everything is going well. We shot outside in wind and rain. Love the cast and crew," the 77-year-old Oscar winner posted on Twitter this week, adding:

"Off for wardrobe fittings for DA. Love costumes of period pictures. Wonder how big my bustle will be? :)" 

"Amazing day on Downton Abbey set," she tweeted on Twitter. "I love the British humor and temperament and functionality. Maggie [Smith, who plays the Dowager Countess] is so subtle and so much fun!"

 These Twitter posts don't tell fans anything new about season three, especially after the details Fellowes has let slip, MacLaine's early tweets seem to indicate that the actress may continue to post Twitter updates from the set throughout filming for "Downton Abbey."
