‘Downton Abbey’ Season 4 Pics: The Crawleys Mourn At [Spoiler]’s Grave

These new shots from the show’s upcoming fourth season put the ‘down’ in ‘Downton.’
The Downton Abbey cast is back to work, filming the British period drama’s fourth season — but it’s not exactly a cause for celebration. This new batch of on-set photos reveal the Crawley family and its associates gathering to mourn the loss of the fan-favorite character who died in the third season finale.

‘Downton Abbey’ Recap: Matthew & Mary’s Wedding Day Finally Arrives

Prince Will-who? Kate Middle-what? The Crawleys threw the wedding of the millenium on the long-awaited season premiere. Tears were shed. Shade was thrown.
Oh, Downton Abbey, how we’ve missed you. The show’s Jan. 6 season premiere brought back the entire Crawley clan — along with a super-sassy Shirley MacLaine as Cora’s mother — for a wedding event full of tears, drama, and of course, bitchy old-world asides from Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess. (“An aristocrat without servants is as useful to the county as a glass hammer.”)
