When "Downton Abbey" returns to PBS in January 2013, viewers can expect to see Lady Mary's wedding to Matthew Crawley and a lesson in the power for the pound and the penny.
That was just a taste of the upcoming season of PBS' monster hit, set during the early 20th century in England.
"Masterpiece" executive producer Rebecca Eaton was recently in Florida and gave a sneak preview of the new season to supporters of WUCF, the new PBS affiliate in Orlando.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the new season opens with the Crawleys waiting for the arrival of Lady Cora's mother, played by Shirley MacLaine, in the hopes she'll provide a cash infusion into the family coffers.
Of course, the Dowager Countess, played by Maggie Smith, detests feeling needy to an uncouth American.
There will be some decidely testy scenes between Smith and MacLaine in the upcoming season, but according to Eaton, that may not be too far from real life.
