Elizabeth McGovern Talks 'Downton Abbey' Season 3 Posted: 06/19/2012 1:39 pm (HUFF POST)



According to creator Julian Fellowes, the upcoming season will center on the lives of the characters as they adjust to the "extraordinary social change" brought on by the Great War.

"Oh, I promise you there will be fireworks," McGovern revealed of Season 3, set to air in the US in early 2013. "Beyond that I say nothing."

While McGovern has high hopes about Season 3, which will include appearances by the Shirley MacLaine, she wasn't quite as enthusiastic about elements of the second season of "Downton."

"What's made the show successful and different is that attention to character detail and that's what the audience likes ... Writers [in the second season] had to do a lot of glossing over the domestic life, and some of the small moments between characters that characterized the first season," McGovern told the LA Times in April.

The actress later clarified to TV Guide Magazine that she was "in no way criticizing the second season or implying that she loved or enjoyed it any less."
