Does anyone know anything about Downton Abbey? They just ran their season 2 finale but this is February. What is the season schedule?

I love, love, love Downton Abbey, and can't wait to watch it tonight. I know there is a Season 3 and Shirley MacLaine is coming as Cora's mother but I haven't seen any time schedule. I thought they were just filming Season 3 now.
We have to remember that this is PBS and they have their own schedule for things. I saw they are doing Great Expectations at the beginning of April. Try googling Downton Abbey or Masterpiece Theatre on your PBS station.

I just read that Season 3 isn't on until next January!
I wish they'd run some of the old Masterpiece Theatres like 'Upstairs, Downstairs' or 'The Duchess of Duke Street'. They were so good, and so much better than 99% of what's on now.

Last night I happened to catch this for the first time and was thinking I could really enjoy this only to learn at the end that it was the season finale!!!!! In February!??!!! And one has to wait an entire year for the next season? A lot of people could lose interest during that much time! Will they do reruns? This would be nice. There are so many characters! It will take a bit to figure out who everyone is. The grandmother is played by the same actress who was the mother superior in Sister Act. It almost seemed sinful to see her dressed to the nines complete with a waistline and bosom.
I love the setting.

You really need to watch it all from the beginning. It's a wonderful production but there are a lot of characters to keep straight, and I can't imagine coming in part way through. I'm not sure if it's on-line but our library has Season 1 and I bet it's around for rent somewhere. Both Season 1 and 2 are available for sale as well.
