Revision as of 18:43, 11 March 2013
Series 4 will begin filming eight episodes on February 28th, 2013[1]. There will also be another Christmas special in 2013 as well. The opening and closing episodes will again be feature length with series four continuing the story of the Crawley family and their servants in the early 1920s[2].
The Series will pick up six to eight months after the end of the Christmas Special[3], that is to say, sometime between March and May 1922.
Julian Fellowes wants to slow down the pace of the drama, make it more subtle, and concentrate more on character development.
The main plot will focus on Mary adjusting to her new life and attempting to move on without the man she loved[4] and raise her son, George.
Tom Branson has also been confirmed to be taking on a larger role within the family, and something exciting will happen for him in the middle of the series. Violet will be returning. So will Michael Gregson. Rose will have an increased role. Martha Levinson will appear in the Christmas special. Sarah O'Brien and Ethel Parks will not return.
