The "Downton Abbey" frenzy is heating up good and proper, what with the spoiler-free teases and season 4 previews getting fans into a tizzy — and on Saturday, another element of the puzzle popped up on YouTube: A trailer with brand new scenes.
"You have a straightforward choice," the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) tells a stricken Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) in the clip. "You must choose either death, or life."
What follows is just over a minute of dancing, kissing, embracing, tears, scuffles, and sipped cups of tea, all set to the song "Wolf's Law" by Joy Formidable. So how does it end? With a greeting: "Welcome to Downton," says Lady Rose MacClare.
Welcome indeed. Season 4 of "Masterpiece Classic's" "Downton Abbey" will return to PBS starting Jan. 5.
